Matthew 19:3-9

Bart Warren

Bart Warren's Sunday evening sermon on 3-15-2026 at the South Green St. Church of Christ.

Even in Suffering...

1 Peter 4:12-5:11

...we must be preparing for judgement and acknowledging it with gladness.

1 Peter 4:12-13

...we must remain faithful. Suffering is no excuse for participating in sin.

1 Peter 4:15-19

...trust God.

1 Peter 5:6

...keep fighting against Satan.

1 Peter 5:8

...we all still have jobs to do, especially Elders.

1 Peter 5:1-6

Look for the Good

...in our suffering

2 Corinthians 1:8-11

Final and most difficult place to look for the good...

God expects us to look for the good in each other, our daily routines, and even in our suffering.

I. The Reality

• God is good and we suffer
• to love makes us vulnerable
• to live pits accomplishments vs. peril

II. Paul's Example

2 Corinthians 1:8-11; 12:1-10

Paul learned:

• to rely on God, not self
• that God is a deliverer
• prayer makes a difference

III. The "good" in Suffering

• "sympathy for the world's wounds"
• "expanded love for those around us"
• "intensified gratitude for what is good"
• "deepened insight"
• "strengthened commitment to what is important"
• "increased faith and hope"

1 Peter 3:8-22

Living with a clear conscience.

Turn to God and love your fellow man.

Control your emotions. Don't repay evil for evil.

Tell the truth.

Do good things.

Seek peace and pursue it. Establish it and maintain it.

Be a person who prays.

Defend the truth of Jesus Christ.

Do you at this moment have a good conscience? God expects us too.

Look for the Good. Bart Warren. Matthew 22:39.

Our Neighbors
