00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.940
 I forgot to put on my microphone until after the service started today so we didn't have a chance to do a sound check.

00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:11.919
! Are we all rocking and rolling? Good. Good morning.

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:19.080
 My name is Matthew Capone and I'm one of the pastors here at Cheyenne Mountain Presbyterian Church.

00:00:19.539 --> 00:00:23.120
 It's my joy to bring God's word to you today.

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:29.039
 Special welcome if you're new or visiting with us. We're glad that you're here.

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.479
 This morning we are continuing our series in the book of Romans.

00:00:33.859 --> 00:00:39.579
 You'll remember that the book of Romans is a letter written by the Apostle Paul in the 50s AD.

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.039
 The book of Romans is called Romans for a very simple reason, which is that it's written to the churches in the city of Rome.

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:54.179
 And this letter is about the gospel. It's about the good news of Jesus' life and death and resurrection.

00:00:54.179 --> 00:00:59.519
 We just started chapter 5 last week. You'll remember we had three sections.

00:00:59.659 --> 00:01:04.459
 We looked at peace and access and glory, especially focused on glory.

00:01:04.579 --> 00:01:13.340
 That is, to fully know and to be fully known by God is the fulfillment of all our greatest desires.

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:17.159
 This week, though, we turn to a problem and the problem is this.

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.119
 We do not yet fully know God.

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:32.280
 We're not fully in his presence yet, and there are things in this life that turn the lights off.

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:44.900
 There are things that we experience that change our world from color to black and white.

00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:48.079
 In fact, some of you may be there this morning.

00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:48.840
 You may be wondering,

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.120
 will the world ever be color for me again?

00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.180
 And so we look at what we saw last week, verse 2.

00:01:58.719 --> 00:01:59.040
 It says,

00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:01.900
 We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:03.280
 You might think,

00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:03.859
 Well, that's great.

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:07.219
 I'm happy to rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.780
 But then Paul tells us something surprising, maybe offensive here.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:13.040
 In verse 3,

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.740
 He says,

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:18.340
 Not only that,

00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:21.420
 but we rejoice in our sufferings.

00:02:21.419 --> 00:02:22.979
 And you might think,

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:25.519
 Well, I can get behind rejoicing in God's glory.

00:02:26.059 --> 00:02:29.299
 I'm not so sure I can get behind rejoicing in suffering.

00:02:29.379 --> 00:02:31.359
 It seems naive at best.

00:02:32.539 --> 00:02:33.479
 Maybe it feels offensive,

00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:40.199
 seems dismissive when you think about how deep and profound some of your sufferings are.

00:02:42.699 --> 00:02:45.419
 I would say that everyone in this room has suffered.

00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:51.299
 Some of you have experienced profound suffering.

00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:57.799
 Some of you are in the midst of profound suffering in this very moment.

00:02:59.579 --> 00:03:04.199
 We have maybe 30 minutes together to look at this passage from God's word.

00:03:04.299 --> 00:03:06.839
 We're going to only scratch the surface.

00:03:06.979 --> 00:03:11.279
 There's not enough time for me to do justice to everything that Paul has for us here.

00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.259
 If I were to do it again, by the way,

00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:18.060
 I would probably do seven sermons on Romans chapters 1, verses 1 through 5.

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:20.580
 I'm not going to bury the lead.

00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.259
 I am here this morning to say to you one thing,

00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:27.780
 and it's this.

00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:31.539
 We rejoice in our sufferings

00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:36.879
 because God uses them to transform us.

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.219
 We rejoice in our sufferings

00:03:41.219 --> 00:03:46.519
 because God uses them to transform us.

00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:48.259
 God uses our sufferings

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:52.139
 to make us more like Jesus.

00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:55.159
 Just like last week,

00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.619
 because there is so much going on in this passage,

00:03:57.619 --> 00:03:58.799
 and I want to keep us focused

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:00.579
 and make sure I don't get lost

00:04:00.579 --> 00:04:01.319
 and you don't get lost,

00:04:01.359 --> 00:04:02.199
 I'm going to tell you also,

00:04:02.299 --> 00:04:03.359
 we're going to look at four things.

00:04:03.839 --> 00:04:06.359
 These are printed in your worship guide on page 6

00:04:06.359 --> 00:04:08.419
 as our four points to our sermon this morning,

00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:09.099
 and it's this.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.399
 Endurance,

00:04:10.859 --> 00:04:11.179
 character,

00:04:11.799 --> 00:04:12.079
 hope,

00:04:12.399 --> 00:04:13.299
 and love.

00:04:14.679 --> 00:04:15.060
 With that,

00:04:15.119 --> 00:04:16.479
 I invite you to turn with me now

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:17.740
 to Romans chapter 5.

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.519
 You'll find it on page 6

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:20.599
 of your worship guide.

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:21.659
 We're going to read now,

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.359
 starting at verse 3.

00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:25.959
 Remember that this is God's word.

00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:28.299
 Proverbs chapter 30,

00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:28.879
 verse 5,

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:29.500
 tells us,

00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:32.959
 every word of God proves true.

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.019
 He is a shield

00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:38.240
 to those who take refuge in him.

00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:41.740
 So that's why we read now Romans chapter 5,

00:04:41.819 --> 00:04:42.919
 starting at verse 3.

00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:45.359
 Not only that,

00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.859
 but we rejoice in our sufferings,

00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:50.800
 knowing that suffering produces endurance,

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.580
 and endurance produces character,

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.879
 and character produces hope,

00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.600
 and hope does not put us to shame,

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:02.460
 because God's love has been poured into our hearts

00:05:02.460 --> 00:05:03.600
 through the Holy Spirit

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.020
 who has been given to us.

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:08.439
 I invite you to pray with me

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.980
 as we come to this portion of God's word.

00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:13.580
 Our Father in heaven,

00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:17.240
 we do again praise you and thank you.

00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:19.520
 That you have given us your word,

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:20.900
 that you speak to us

00:05:20.900 --> 00:05:22.199
 in ways and words

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.180
 that we can understand.

00:05:23.580 --> 00:05:26.699
 We ask that you would do that again this morning.

00:05:26.819 --> 00:05:29.220
 You would grow our hope.

00:05:29.460 --> 00:05:30.740
 We'd experience your love

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.139
 that's been poured into our hearts

00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:33.240
 through the Holy Spirit.

00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:36.360
 You give us hope

00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.180
 in the midst of our suffering.

00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.100
 You'd give us comfort.

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:39.160
 Lord,

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.660
 you'd help us to set our eyes on you

00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:47.400
 and to head towards the future

00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:48.280
 that you have for us,

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:49.780
 no matter the present.

00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:50.980
 We ask these things

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:52.560
 in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:53.480
 Amen.

00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.700
 From time to time,

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:00.020
 people will ask me,

00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:00.379
 you know,

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:00.660
 Matthew,

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:02.660
 what is it that you do for fun?

00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:05.060
 And I tell them

00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:06.460
 I do two things for fun.

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:07.180
 It's very simple.

00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:08.760
 I read books

00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:10.540
 and I go to the gym.

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.020
 When I tell people that,

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:14.360
 that's great,

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.320
 except there's one problem,

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:16.260
 which is that it's a lie.

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:19.960
 I do read for fun.

00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:23.740
 And I don't go to the gym for fun.

00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:25.820
 In fact,

00:06:25.860 --> 00:06:26.800
 I often hate the gym.

00:06:28.580 --> 00:06:29.340
 Many times,

00:06:29.400 --> 00:06:31.100
 I have to make myself go,

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:32.800
 yes,

00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:34.020
 it is satisfying

00:06:34.020 --> 00:06:35.080
 and fun

00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:36.580
 sometimes.

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:38.840
 And often,

00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:40.800
 it's really miserable.

00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:44.560
 If I'm totally honest,

00:06:44.700 --> 00:06:45.480
 there are days

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.140
 that I would rather stay home,

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:48.320
 many days,

00:06:49.140 --> 00:06:50.620
 and yet in the midst of that,

00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:52.000
 I actually pay money

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.420
 to suffer.

00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:57.260
 I make myself go to the gym

00:06:57.260 --> 00:06:58.560
 and I make myself go

00:06:58.560 --> 00:06:59.660
 for many reasons.

00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:01.080
 One of them is this.

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.120
 I am now closer

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.080
 to age 40

00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:06.879
 than I am to age 30.

00:07:08.260 --> 00:07:09.300
 And I know

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:11.660
 what I want my future

00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:12.580
 to look like.

00:07:13.320 --> 00:07:14.920
 An idea of where I want to be

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:15.600
 at age 40.

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:16.860
 And so I rejoice in it,

00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:18.200
 going to the gym.

00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:20.900
 I may not like the process.

00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:23.879
 I do like the results.

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.879
 I tell you that

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:26.600
 because as we look

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.500
 at our first four,

00:07:27.719 --> 00:07:28.060
 our first,

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:28.800
 our points here,

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:30.339
 our first of the four

00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:31.040
 is this.

00:07:31.159 --> 00:07:32.279
 We rejoice in our sufferings

00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:33.079
 knowing that suffering

00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.699
 produces endurance.

00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:36.519
 And the word endurance

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.600
 here is a muscle word.

00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.139
 It's a strength word.

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:42.379
 Paul is saying

00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:43.040
 we rejoice

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.019
 in our sufferings

00:07:45.019 --> 00:07:47.420
 because it produces

00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:49.040
 strength.

00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:49.100
 strength.

00:07:50.140 --> 00:07:51.800
 And by making you strong,

00:07:52.060 --> 00:07:54.140
 it prepares you

00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:55.240
 for the future.

00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.260
 By making you strong,

00:07:58.379 --> 00:07:59.520
 it gets you set

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:01.220
 for what is ahead.

00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:02.940
 And some of you know

00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:04.280
 that for several years,

00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:05.540
 I worked out

00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:07.060
 with a junior army officer.

00:08:07.380 --> 00:08:07.940
 At one point,

00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.360
 he was training

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:10.800
 for special forces selection

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.020
 and he was obsessed

00:08:12.020 --> 00:08:13.280
 with his deadlift number.

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:13.840
 And I asked him

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:14.360
 at one point,

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:14.620
 I said,

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:15.720
 why do you care

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.060
 so much

00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:18.420
 about your deadlift?

00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:20.140
 He said,

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:20.620
 well, Matthew,

00:08:20.760 --> 00:08:22.300
 do the math with me.

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:24.480
 The heaviest guy

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.440
 in my platoon

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:28.740
 is 260 pounds.

00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:31.740
 He has 30 pounds

00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:32.580
 of body armor.

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:35.200
 He has 10 pounds

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:35.700
 of ammo

00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:37.580
 and his rock

00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:40.240
 is 60 to 80 pounds.

00:08:41.860 --> 00:08:43.060
 If I'm in combat

00:08:43.060 --> 00:08:43.960
 with that man

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.180
 and he gets shot,

00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:47.980
 I have to lift him

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:49.840
 off the ground.

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:52.419
 If you're doing the math,

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:53.519
 we have made it here

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.500
 to 360 to 380 pounds.

00:08:56.680 --> 00:08:57.320
 We actually want

00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:58.360
 some margin of error there.

00:08:58.360 --> 00:08:58.759
 So actually,

00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:00.480
 let's set it at 400 pounds.

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.779
 If I want to be ready

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:04.060
 for the worst thing

00:09:04.060 --> 00:09:04.980
 that happens to me

00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:05.620
 in combat,

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.100
 I need to make sure

00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:08.300
 I can deadlift

00:09:08.300 --> 00:09:10.379
 400 pounds.

00:09:11.659 --> 00:09:12.620
 One of the other things

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:13.399
 we would do together

00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:14.360
 is farmer's carries,

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:15.700
 which is where you walk

00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:17.060
 carrying a heavy weight

00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:17.940
 in each hand.

00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:19.180
 And he had a set

00:09:19.180 --> 00:09:20.360
 of 80 pound kettlebells,

00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:22.080
 which if you've never

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:22.840
 done a farmer's carry,

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:23.740
 that's a lot of weight.

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:25.240
 And he said,

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.240
 when it gets hard

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.600
 and I don't think

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:29.740
 I can make it anymore

00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:31.620
 and I want to put

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:32.500
 the kettlebells

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:33.700
 down on the ground,

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:35.580
 I imagine

00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:37.340
 that I am carrying

00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:38.519
 my wounded buddy

00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.799
 to the medevac helicopter.

00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:43.000
 Doesn't matter

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:43.980
 if I want to put it down,

00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:44.220
 right?

00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:47.080
 He has to make it.

00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:49.320
 Tell you this

00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.320
 for this reason.

00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.160
 There will come

00:09:53.160 --> 00:09:54.460
 moments in your life

00:09:54.460 --> 00:09:57.800
 where you are grateful

00:09:57.800 --> 00:10:00.200
 for the suffering

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.600
 that God has brought

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.500
 to you

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:05.879
 because it gives you

00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:06.540
 strength

00:10:06.540 --> 00:10:08.960
 that you must have

00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.120
 in that moment.

00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:13.540
 There will come times

00:10:13.540 --> 00:10:14.460
 in your life

00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.080
 where you are grateful

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.040
 for the suffering

00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:20.960
 that God has brought

00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:21.900
 to you

00:10:21.900 --> 00:10:24.460
 because that was

00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:25.440
 the only way

00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:26.900
 you have strength

00:10:26.900 --> 00:10:28.920
 for that moment.

00:10:32.520 --> 00:10:33.480
 When I sit

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.259
 with some of you

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:37.020
 who are in the midst

00:10:37.020 --> 00:10:37.600
 of suffering,

00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.360
 I praise God

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.540
 for the times

00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:45.100
 he has cut my legs

00:10:45.100 --> 00:10:46.200
 out from under me.

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.400
 because if he had not,

00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.020
 I would have

00:10:54.020 --> 00:10:55.580
 nothing to say.

00:10:59.180 --> 00:11:00.080
 I told you

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:00.759
 that I work out

00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:01.639
 because I know

00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:02.980
 what I want my future

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:04.420
 to look like.

00:11:06.820 --> 00:11:07.379
 Christian,

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:09.940
 do you want

00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:10.379
 your future

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.480
 to look like one

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:14.780
 of clinging

00:11:14.780 --> 00:11:16.620
 to Jesus Christ?

00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:21.620
 If you do,

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.480
 you must

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:24.480
 suffer.

00:11:27.780 --> 00:11:29.080
 That's what the strength

00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.139
 looks like.

00:11:30.580 --> 00:11:31.660
 Looks like clinging

00:11:31.660 --> 00:11:32.160
 to Jesus

00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:32.759
 more

00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:33.960
 and more.

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:35.920
 We rejoice

00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:37.180
 in our suffering

00:11:37.180 --> 00:11:38.100
 knowing

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:39.800
 that suffering

00:11:39.800 --> 00:11:40.080
 produces

00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:40.580
 endurance.

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:40.879
 It produces

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.540
 endurance.

00:11:50.540 --> 00:11:51.400
 So we're asking

00:11:51.400 --> 00:11:52.000
 this question.

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.440
 Why do we rejoice

00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:54.180
 in our sufferings?

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:55.220
 We have our first answer.

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.560
 It makes us stronger.

00:11:57.040 --> 00:11:58.060
 It gives us endurance.

00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:00.780
 We also rejoice

00:12:00.780 --> 00:12:02.100
 in our sufferings

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:04.120
 because they grow

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.740
 our character.

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:07.120
 That's our next point

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.340
 and it is very simple.

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.560
 You'll see it in verse 4.

00:12:11.419 --> 00:12:12.700
 Endurance produces

00:12:12.700 --> 00:12:13.600
 character.

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:15.539
 The word for character

00:12:15.539 --> 00:12:16.480
 here is kind of

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:17.560
 a technical term

00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:18.399
 that is referring

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.600
 to the process

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.700
 of refining metals.

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:23.440
 This is an image

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.080
 that's used

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.779
 in the Bible

00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:25.720
 multiple times

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.379
 and the idea

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:27.019
 is this.

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:28.159
 If you have

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:28.960
 some gold

00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.079
 and you want

00:12:31.079 --> 00:12:32.120
 to take that gold

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:33.039
 and remove

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:34.100
 its impurities

00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:36.720
 to separate

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:37.740
 the gold

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.699
 from the ore

00:12:38.699 --> 00:12:39.639
 you have to put it

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:40.299
 in the fire.

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.539
 And as it heats up

00:12:43.539 --> 00:12:45.399
 those things

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:46.159
 come apart.

00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:46.659
 Right?

00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:50.000
 Suffering

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.159
 can

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:53.960
 force

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.279
 the impurities

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.439
 out

00:12:56.439 --> 00:12:57.179
 of

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:57.939
 your

00:12:57.939 --> 00:12:58.839
 life.

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:02.740
 Sometimes

00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:03.299
 when I meet

00:13:03.299 --> 00:13:03.759
 with someone

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.419
 who is in the

00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:05.240
 midst of suffering

00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.240
 they ask me this.

00:13:07.319 --> 00:13:08.199
 Why has

00:13:08.199 --> 00:13:08.679
 God

00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:09.220
 allowed

00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:09.699
 this?

00:13:11.319 --> 00:13:11.819
 How can I

00:13:11.819 --> 00:13:12.220
 trust

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:13.299
 serve

00:13:13.299 --> 00:13:13.720
 and obey

00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:14.120
 a God

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:14.459
 who would

00:13:14.459 --> 00:13:14.839
 permit

00:13:14.839 --> 00:13:15.199
 this

00:13:15.199 --> 00:13:15.699
 to enter

00:13:15.699 --> 00:13:16.500
 my life?

00:13:19.579 --> 00:13:20.159
 And I

00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:20.500
 tell them

00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:20.819
 this.

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:22.679
 I have

00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:23.419
 no idea

00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:24.059
 why God

00:13:24.059 --> 00:13:24.439
 has brought

00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:24.860
 this into

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:25.360
 your life.

00:13:26.660 --> 00:13:27.020
 I don't

00:13:27.020 --> 00:13:27.200
 know.

00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:28.500
 I'm not

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:28.920
 the prophet

00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:29.380
 or the son

00:13:29.380 --> 00:13:29.900
 of a prophet.

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:31.240
 God has

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:31.680
 not given

00:13:31.680 --> 00:13:32.180
 me that

00:13:32.180 --> 00:13:32.600
 answer.

00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:33.240
 Here's

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:33.480
 what I

00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:33.940
 do know.

00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:36.340
 This

00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:37.040
 suffering

00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:37.860
 that you

00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:38.520
 are walking

00:13:38.520 --> 00:13:39.060
 through

00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:39.880
 can

00:13:39.880 --> 00:13:41.200
 make you

00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.180
 a deeper

00:13:42.180 --> 00:13:43.480
 and richer

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:44.260
 person.

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:46.900
 This

00:13:46.900 --> 00:13:47.340
 suffering

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:47.860
 that you're

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.240
 in

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.020
 can

00:13:49.020 --> 00:13:49.680
 make you

00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:50.340
 a deeper

00:13:50.340 --> 00:13:51.440
 and richer

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:52.620
 person.

00:13:53.280 --> 00:13:53.940
 Now I

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:54.600
 say can

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.220
 because it's

00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:56.840
 not inevitable.

00:13:58.400 --> 00:13:59.120
 If you

00:13:59.120 --> 00:13:59.900
 choose not

00:13:59.900 --> 00:14:00.460
 to submit

00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:01.100
 to God's

00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:01.560
 work in

00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:01.980
 your life

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:02.280
 it can

00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:02.580
 instead

00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:03.360
 make you

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.380
 angry

00:14:04.380 --> 00:14:05.560
 and anxious

00:14:05.560 --> 00:14:06.740
 and bitter.

00:14:08.140 --> 00:14:08.780
 You do

00:14:08.780 --> 00:14:09.060
 have to

00:14:09.060 --> 00:14:09.580
 continue to

00:14:09.580 --> 00:14:10.000
 follow the

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.340
 Lord in

00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:10.760
 those things.

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:11.180
 You can't

00:14:11.180 --> 00:14:11.600
 run away

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.080
 from it.

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.080
 but when

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:15.440
 you do

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.580
 it will

00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:18.720
 purify

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.440
 and refine

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.340
 your life.

00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:23.560
 Of course

00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:23.860
 it will do

00:14:23.860 --> 00:14:24.240
 it in many

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:24.820
 ways more

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:25.060
 than we

00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:25.440
 can list

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:25.960
 this morning.

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:26.320
 I'll give

00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:26.879
 you a few

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.639
 examples.

00:14:30.040 --> 00:14:30.480
 Suffering

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.180
 will loosen

00:14:32.180 --> 00:14:32.980
 your grip

00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:33.700
 on this

00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:34.120
 world

00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.640
 and it

00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:36.980
 will make

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:37.500
 it easier

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:38.060
 for you

00:14:38.060 --> 00:14:39.560
 to set

00:14:39.560 --> 00:14:40.580
 your eyes

00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:41.540
 on heaven.

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.100
 By the

00:14:45.100 --> 00:14:45.379
 way

00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:47.800
 it is

00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:48.320
 wonderful

00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.340
 to be

00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:49.740
 around

00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:50.220
 people

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:50.560
 whose

00:14:50.560 --> 00:14:51.060
 eyes

00:14:51.060 --> 00:14:51.300
 are

00:14:51.300 --> 00:14:51.800
 set

00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:52.139
 on

00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:52.500
 heaven.

00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.400
 Suffering

00:14:55.400 --> 00:14:55.820
 makes

00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:56.200
 what we

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:56.480
 talked

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:56.700
 about

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:57.040
 last

00:14:57.040 --> 00:14:57.259
 week

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:57.560
 much

00:14:57.560 --> 00:14:58.020
 easier.

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.540
 When

00:14:59.540 --> 00:14:59.780
 you

00:14:59.780 --> 00:15:00.300
 suffer

00:15:00.300 --> 00:15:01.300
 it is

00:15:01.300 --> 00:15:01.620
 much

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:02.139
 easier

00:15:02.139 --> 00:15:02.400
 to

00:15:02.400 --> 00:15:02.660
 make

00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:03.080
 your

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:03.560
 hope

00:15:03.560 --> 00:15:04.160
 the

00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:04.580
 hope

00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:05.300
 of

00:15:05.300 --> 00:15:05.639
 glory.

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:09.720
 Suffering

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:10.160
 can give

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:10.740
 you a

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:11.220
 resilience

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:11.960
 and a

00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:12.500
 steadiness

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:15.500
 can make

00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:15.960
 it hard

00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:16.300
 for you

00:15:16.300 --> 00:15:16.560
 to be

00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:17.019
 rattled.

00:15:19.180 --> 00:15:19.720
 One time

00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:20.180
 many years

00:15:20.180 --> 00:15:20.500
 ago I

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.040
 had a

00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:21.779
 disappointment

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:22.519
 a setback

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:23.120
 and

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.519
 had a

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:24.860
 pastor

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:25.560
 I was not

00:15:25.560 --> 00:15:25.899
 a pastor

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:26.379
 at the time

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:26.740
 I had a

00:15:26.740 --> 00:15:27.240
 pastor call

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:27.620
 me and I

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:27.940
 shared it

00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:28.220
 with him

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:28.480
 and he

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.620
 quoted to

00:15:29.620 --> 00:15:29.800
 me

00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:30.160
 Psalm

00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:30.920
 112

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.099
 for the

00:15:33.099 --> 00:15:33.500
 righteous

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:35.059
 will never

00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:36.319
 be moved

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:37.819
 he will

00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:38.419
 be remembered

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:39.019
 forever

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:40.559
 and here's

00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.059
 the kicker

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:42.860
 he is

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.919
 not afraid

00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:45.099
 of bad

00:15:45.099 --> 00:15:45.639
 news

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.759
 his heart

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.639
 is firm

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.839
 trusting

00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:50.879
 in the

00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:51.299
 Lord

00:15:51.299 --> 00:15:54.519
 do you

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:54.980
 want to

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:55.360
 be the

00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:55.860
 type of

00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:56.299
 person

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:57.159
 who is

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:58.159
 never afraid

00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:59.120
 of bad

00:15:59.120 --> 00:15:59.860
 news

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:03.579
 I've got

00:16:03.579 --> 00:16:04.000
 bad news

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:04.480
 for you

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.819
 to get

00:16:06.819 --> 00:16:07.120
 there

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.579
 you must

00:16:08.579 --> 00:16:09.519
 suffer

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:15.480
 it's

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:15.819
 suffering

00:16:15.819 --> 00:16:16.399
 that forms

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.039
 that in

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.459
 your life

00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:20.139
 if you

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:20.500
 get your

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.180
 legs cut

00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:21.440
 out

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.080
 from under

00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:22.440
 you

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.980
 gives you

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.519
 a chance

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.080
 for your

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:27.600
 pride

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.100
 to be

00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:29.600
 replaced

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:29.860
 by

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.379
 humility

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:33.580
 could even

00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:33.980
 go further

00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:34.519
 we could say

00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:35.040
 suffering

00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:35.759
 is what

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:36.400
 forms

00:16:36.400 --> 00:16:37.280
 in us

00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:38.340
 love

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:38.720
 joy

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.280
 peace

00:16:39.280 --> 00:16:40.040
 patience

00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:40.700
 kindness

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:41.460
 gentleness

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:42.460
 and self

00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:42.920
 control

00:16:42.920 --> 00:16:44.700
 suffering

00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:45.180
 is God's

00:16:45.180 --> 00:16:45.460
 way

00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:47.019
 his way

00:16:47.019 --> 00:16:47.379
 of bringing

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:47.879
 these things

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.200
 about

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.120
 remember

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.600
 Hebrews

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.400
 chapter 12

00:16:52.400 --> 00:16:53.680
 for the

00:16:53.680 --> 00:16:54.220
 moment

00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:55.000
 all

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:55.580
 discipline

00:16:55.580 --> 00:16:56.220
 seems

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:56.920
 painful

00:16:56.920 --> 00:16:58.120
 rather

00:16:58.120 --> 00:16:58.400
 than

00:16:58.400 --> 00:16:58.840
 pleasant

00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:00.720
 but later

00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:01.379
 it yields

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:02.160
 the peaceful

00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:02.920
 fruit of

00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:03.660
 righteousness

00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:05.440
 to those

00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:05.960
 who have

00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:06.799
 been trained

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.559
 by it

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.840
 do you

00:17:09.840 --> 00:17:10.180
 want

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:11.640
 that peaceful

00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:12.340
 fruit of

00:17:12.340 --> 00:17:12.840
 righteousness

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.139
 if you

00:17:17.139 --> 00:17:17.419
 do

00:17:17.419 --> 00:17:19.679
 the way

00:17:19.679 --> 00:17:20.439
 to it

00:17:20.439 --> 00:17:21.500
 is through

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.899
 suffering

00:17:22.899 --> 00:17:33.199
 why do we

00:17:33.199 --> 00:17:33.859
 rejoice in our

00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:34.359
 sufferings

00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:35.500
 first

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.139
 they give us

00:17:36.139 --> 00:17:36.519
 endurance

00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:37.179
 they make us

00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:38.000
 stronger

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.839
 second

00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.039
 they give us

00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:41.480
 character

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.779
 they make

00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:43.360
 us better

00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:44.620
 our

00:17:44.620 --> 00:17:45.059
 sufferings

00:17:45.059 --> 00:17:45.559
 make us

00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:45.940
 deeper

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:46.940
 and richer

00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:47.839
 people

00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.039
 third

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:50.579
 Paul tells

00:17:50.579 --> 00:17:50.860
 us that

00:17:50.860 --> 00:17:51.039
 our

00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:51.740
 sufferings

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.400
 give us

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:52.960
 hope

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.420
 and this

00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:54.799
 one is

00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:55.440
 counterintuitive

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:55.779
 it doesn't

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:56.160
 really make

00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:56.539
 sense

00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:56.880
 so I'm

00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:57.039
 going to

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:57.420
 explain it

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:57.620

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:44.599
 I received

00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:45.240
 one when I

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.440
 was in

00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:45.940
 high school

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:46.779
 if you were

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:47.359
 around in

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:47.960
 the 90s

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.220
 and the

00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:48.879
 2000s

00:18:48.879 --> 00:18:49.119
 and you

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:49.440
 were a

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:49.660
 kid

00:18:49.660 --> 00:18:50.099
 you know

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:50.559
 that back

00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:50.779
 then

00:18:50.779 --> 00:18:51.240
 north face

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:51.819
 was super

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:52.180
 cool

00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:53.779
 so I

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:54.200
 was

00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:54.779
 super

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:55.099
 cool

00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:57.119
 then I

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:57.379
 went to

00:18:57.379 --> 00:18:57.660
 college

00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:58.079
 I was on

00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:58.240
 this

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.639
 traveling

00:18:58.639 --> 00:18:59.299
 study abroad

00:18:59.299 --> 00:18:59.740
 program

00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:00.119
 and while

00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:00.379
 we were

00:19:00.379 --> 00:19:00.619
 there

00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:00.980
 we were

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.440
 in the

00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:01.660
 city

00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:01.859
 of

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:02.259
 Delphi

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:02.639
 which is

00:19:02.639 --> 00:19:02.859
 in

00:19:02.859 --> 00:19:03.240
 Greece

00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:04.039
 had my

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:04.559
 rain jacket

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:05.119
 with me

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:05.920
 and it

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:06.740
 rained all

00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:07.119
 day

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:08.299
 so I

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:08.599
 put my

00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:08.819
 jacket

00:19:08.819 --> 00:19:09.139
 on

00:19:09.139 --> 00:19:11.799
 and at

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:12.079
 the end

00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:12.299
 of the

00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:12.500
 day

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:12.799
 you know

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:13.039
 what

00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:14.839
 I

00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:15.219
 was

00:19:15.219 --> 00:19:15.859
 soaked

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:16.799
 through

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.439
 you know

00:19:19.439 --> 00:19:19.699
 why I

00:19:19.699 --> 00:19:20.059
 was soaked

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:20.359
 through

00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:21.919
 because that

00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:22.439
 rain jacket

00:19:22.439 --> 00:19:23.099
 was worthless

00:19:23.099 --> 00:19:25.500
 that rain jacket

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:26.299
 had nothing

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:26.939
 to do

00:19:26.939 --> 00:19:27.219
 with

00:19:27.219 --> 00:19:28.019
 north face

00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:29.039
 north face

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:29.500
 had never

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:29.879
 touched

00:19:29.879 --> 00:19:30.019
 it

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:30.359
 all it

00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:30.519
 did

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:30.859
 was have

00:19:30.859 --> 00:19:31.259
 a cheap

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.839
 imitation

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:32.719
 of the

00:19:32.719 --> 00:19:33.059
 logo

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:35.359
 the point

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:36.179
 is this

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:39.140
 we do

00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:39.820
 not know

00:19:39.820 --> 00:19:40.380
 what is

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:40.900
 real

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:41.940
 or what

00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:42.720
 is fake

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.620
 until

00:19:44.620 --> 00:19:46.080
 the storm

00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:47.060
 comes

00:19:47.060 --> 00:19:50.740
 we do

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:51.320
 not know

00:19:51.320 --> 00:19:52.860
 what is

00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:53.380
 real

00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:54.340
 or fake

00:19:54.340 --> 00:19:55.340
 until

00:19:55.340 --> 00:19:56.779
 the storm

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:57.680
 comes

00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:59.500
 when Paul

00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:00.039
 says

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.100
 our sufferings

00:20:01.100 --> 00:20:01.500
 give us

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:01.779
 hope

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.539
 he means

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:03.100
 this

00:20:03.099 --> 00:20:04.459
 the storm

00:20:04.459 --> 00:20:05.599
 of suffering

00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:06.679
 proves

00:20:06.679 --> 00:20:07.699
 to you

00:20:07.699 --> 00:20:09.799
 your

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:10.480
 faith

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.059
 is

00:20:11.059 --> 00:20:11.639
 real

00:20:11.639 --> 00:20:14.519
 you can

00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:14.919
 look back

00:20:14.919 --> 00:20:15.240
 and you can

00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:15.599
 say hey

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.259
 it actually

00:20:16.259 --> 00:20:16.719
 worked

00:20:16.719 --> 00:20:18.799
 God's

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.199
 people

00:20:19.199 --> 00:20:19.919
 did

00:20:19.919 --> 00:20:20.799
 provide

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:21.599
 the support

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:22.019
 that I

00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:22.519
 needed

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.000
 as I

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:23.379
 walked

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:24.119
 that path

00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:24.819
 God's

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:25.359
 promises

00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:26.179
 were

00:20:26.179 --> 00:20:27.000
 true

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.379
 God

00:20:28.379 --> 00:20:28.939
 did

00:20:28.939 --> 00:20:29.439
 keep

00:20:29.439 --> 00:20:29.819
 his

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:30.319
 word

00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.179
 to me

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:32.299
 God's

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:32.539
 word

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:33.060
 was

00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:33.860
 sweet

00:20:33.860 --> 00:20:35.200
 in that

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:35.799
 season

00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:36.920
 wow

00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:38.980
 God

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.539
 really

00:20:39.539 --> 00:20:40.500
 is

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:41.360
 powerful

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:43.720
 I

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.160
 knew

00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:44.360
 it

00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:44.680
 in my

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:45.200
 mind

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.539
 now

00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:46.820
 I

00:20:46.820 --> 00:20:47.160
 know

00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:47.440
 it

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:48.320
 in

00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:49.160
 my

00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:49.880
 heart

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:51.820
 my

00:20:51.820 --> 00:20:52.420
 faith

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:52.680
 is

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.080
 real

00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:54.580
 even

00:20:54.580 --> 00:20:54.820
 more

00:20:54.820 --> 00:20:55.000
 than

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.240
 that

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:55.799
 God

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:56.400
 is

00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:57.120
 real

00:20:57.120 --> 00:20:58.720
 we might

00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:58.980
 put it

00:20:58.980 --> 00:20:59.220
 another

00:20:59.220 --> 00:20:59.560
 way

00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:01.119
 if

00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:01.839
 Christianity

00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:02.519
 cannot

00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:03.299
 hold

00:21:03.299 --> 00:21:03.839
 up

00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.079
 in the

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:06.419
 storms

00:21:06.419 --> 00:21:06.839
 of this

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:07.299
 life

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:08.619
 then it

00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:09.119
 cannot

00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:10.000
 hold

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.619
 up

00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:13.220
 but it

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:13.559
 does

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:18.519
 and so

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:18.819
 we have

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:19.099
 hope

00:21:19.099 --> 00:21:20.759
 the more

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.200
 you suffer

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:21.539
 the more

00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:21.919
 hope you

00:21:21.919 --> 00:21:22.259
 have

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:23.440
 because

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:24.200
 the more

00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:25.139
 you see

00:21:25.139 --> 00:21:26.079
 God

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:26.819
 come

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.599
 through

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:31.500
 why

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:31.740
 do we

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:32.119
 rejoice

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.939
 in our

00:21:32.939 --> 00:21:33.480
 sufferings

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.980
 we

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.319
 rejoice

00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:35.639
 in our

00:21:35.639 --> 00:21:36.039
 sufferings

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:36.299
 because

00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:36.719
 they give

00:21:36.719 --> 00:21:36.879
 us

00:21:36.879 --> 00:21:37.299
 endurance

00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:37.980
 they make

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.279
 us

00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:39.179
 stronger

00:21:39.179 --> 00:21:40.759
 we

00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:41.159
 rejoice

00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:41.639
 in our

00:21:41.639 --> 00:21:42.159
 sufferings

00:21:42.159 --> 00:21:42.399
 because

00:21:42.399 --> 00:21:42.740
 they give

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:42.899
 us

00:21:42.899 --> 00:21:43.359
 character

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.539
 they make

00:21:44.539 --> 00:21:44.879
 us

00:21:44.879 --> 00:21:45.599
 better

00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.359
 we

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:48.740
 rejoice

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:49.059
 in our

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:49.559
 sufferings

00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:49.919
 because

00:21:49.919 --> 00:21:50.759
 suffering

00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:51.879
 builds

00:21:51.879 --> 00:21:53.139
 hope

00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:53.140


00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:56.600
 takes us

00:21:56.600 --> 00:21:56.840
 to our

00:21:56.840 --> 00:21:57.120
 final

00:21:57.120 --> 00:21:57.520
 point

00:21:57.520 --> 00:21:59.060
 God's

00:21:59.060 --> 00:21:59.500
 love

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:01.700
 Paul

00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:02.400
 says this

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.660
 here

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:03.600
 hope

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:03.900
 does not

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:04.180
 put us

00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:04.560
 to shame

00:22:04.560 --> 00:22:04.860
 this is

00:22:04.860 --> 00:22:05.440
 verse 5

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:06.500
 because

00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:06.900
 God's

00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:07.120
 love

00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:07.400
 has been

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:07.680
 poured

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.100
 into our

00:22:08.100 --> 00:22:08.440
 hearts

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:08.620
 through

00:22:08.620 --> 00:22:08.800
 the

00:22:08.800 --> 00:22:09.120
 Holy

00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:09.880
 Spirit

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:10.580
 who

00:22:10.580 --> 00:22:10.780
 has

00:22:10.780 --> 00:22:11.020
 been

00:22:11.020 --> 00:22:11.440
 given

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.300
 to

00:22:12.300 --> 00:22:12.820
 us

00:22:12.820 --> 00:22:14.980
 this is

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:15.440
 hard to

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:15.640
 wrap

00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:15.820
 our

00:22:15.820 --> 00:22:16.400
 heads

00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:16.880
 around

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:17.640
 talking

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:17.860
 about

00:22:17.860 --> 00:22:17.980
 our

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:18.720
 experience

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:18.920
 of

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.160
 God

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:19.340
 the

00:22:19.340 --> 00:22:19.640
 things

00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:19.860
 that

00:22:19.860 --> 00:22:20.520
 we

00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:20.900
 feel

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.320
 inside

00:22:21.320 --> 00:22:21.480
 of

00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:21.640
 us

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:21.900
 and so

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:22.020
 I'm

00:22:22.020 --> 00:22:22.140
 just

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:22.320
 going to

00:22:22.320 --> 00:22:22.320


00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:22.559

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:23.019
 a story

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:24.980
 in

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:26.099

00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:28.319
 there

00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:28.579
 was a

00:22:28.579 --> 00:22:28.819
 group

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.079
 of

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.759
 insurgents

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:29.939
 who

00:22:29.939 --> 00:22:30.279
 attacked

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.519
 the

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.480
 at

 let you

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:03.579

00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:05.059
 morning

00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:07.319
 so she

00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:07.539
 sits

00:23:07.539 --> 00:23:07.819
 down

00:23:07.819 --> 00:23:07.980
 with

00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:08.159
 this

00:23:08.159 --> 00:23:08.500
 woman

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:10.099
 and

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:10.419
 this

00:23:10.419 --> 00:23:10.539
 is

00:23:10.539 --> 00:23:10.679
 what

00:23:10.679 --> 00:23:10.819
 she

00:23:10.819 --> 00:23:11.139
 tells

00:23:11.139 --> 00:23:11.279
 in

 her

00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:13.799
 rat

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:15.740
 impulsively

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:17.000
 I leaned

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.279
 over

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.019
 and whispered

00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:18.220
 how

00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:18.699
 honored

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.340
 I was

00:23:19.340 --> 00:23:19.700
 to be

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:19.980
 sitting

00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:20.480
 beside

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:20.779
 her

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.720
 as

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:21.860
 I

00:23:21.860 --> 00:23:22.019
 had

00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:22.279
 never

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.480
 had

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:22.680
 to

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:22.980
 suffer

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.299
 for

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:23.539
 my

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:23.940
 lord

00:23:23.940 --> 00:23:24.700
 the

00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:24.920
 way

00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:25.120
 that

00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:25.279
 she

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:25.640
 had

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.080
 believe

00:23:27.080 --> 00:23:27.559
 me

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:28.380
 she replied

00:23:28.380 --> 00:23:28.860
 simply

00:23:28.860 --> 00:23:29.279
 with a

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.640
 smile

00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:30.900
 it

00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:31.519
 was

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:31.960
 a

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:32.660
 joy

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:34.980
 then

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:35.420
 perhaps

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:35.860
 noticing

00:23:35.860 --> 00:23:36.080
 the

00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:36.340
 wonder

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:36.540
 on

00:23:36.540 --> 00:23:36.700
 my

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:37.060
 face

00:23:37.060 --> 00:23:37.340
 she

00:23:37.340 --> 00:23:37.740
 added

00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:39.040
 you

00:23:39.040 --> 00:23:39.279
 know

00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:40.440
 I

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:40.720
 never

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:40.900
 had

00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:41.060
 to

00:23:41.060 --> 00:23:41.320
 suffer

00:23:41.320 --> 00:23:41.580
 for

00:23:41.580 --> 00:23:41.779
 my

00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:42.160
 lord

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:42.660
 before

00:23:42.660 --> 00:23:43.340
 this

00:23:43.340 --> 00:23:43.900
 happened

00:23:43.900 --> 00:23:45.340
 and

00:23:45.340 --> 00:23:45.519
 in

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:45.840
 spite

00:23:45.840 --> 00:23:45.980
 of

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:46.140
 the

00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:46.600
 horrors

00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:46.920
 going

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.160
 on

00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:47.460
 all

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:47.800
 around

00:23:47.800 --> 00:23:48.000
 me

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.220
 at

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:48.340
 the

00:23:48.340 --> 00:23:48.759
 time

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:50.000
 there

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:50.220
 was

00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:50.640
 such

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:50.940
 a

00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:51.600
 sense

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:52.400
 of

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:52.560
 the

00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:53.040
 presence

00:23:53.040 --> 00:23:53.320
 of

00:23:53.320 --> 00:23:53.460
 the

00:23:53.460 --> 00:23:53.680
 lord

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:54.180
 jesus

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:54.900
 himself

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:56.080
 that

00:23:56.080 --> 00:23:56.220
 it

00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:56.440
 was

00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:56.980
 pure

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:57.920
 joy

00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:01.300
 that's

00:24:01.300 --> 00:24:01.420
 what

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:01.700
 Paul's

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:01.900
 saying

00:24:01.900 --> 00:24:02.060
 in

00:24:02.060 --> 00:24:02.220
 verse

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:02.600
 five

00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.240
 he

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:04.339
 says

00:24:04.339 --> 00:24:04.459
 your

00:24:04.459 --> 00:24:04.699
 hope

00:24:04.699 --> 00:24:04.839
 will

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:05.019
 not

00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:05.199
 put

00:24:05.199 --> 00:24:05.299
 you

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:05.459
 to

00:24:05.459 --> 00:24:05.779
 shame

00:24:05.779 --> 00:24:07.719
 because

00:24:07.719 --> 00:24:08.039
 because

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:11.179
 a

00:24:11.179 --> 00:24:11.519
 sense

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:11.719
 of

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:32.040
 a lot

00:25:32.040 --> 00:25:32.540
 about

 chronic

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:37.380
 pain

00:25:40.600 --> 00:25:40.820
 worst

00:25:40.820 --> 00:25:41.040
 part

00:25:41.040 --> 00:25:41.140
 is

00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:41.260
 not

00:25:41.260 --> 00:25:41.380
 the

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.159
 the

00:25:44.159 --> 00:25:44.319
 way

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.480
 that

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:44.579
 it

00:25:44.579 --> 00:25:44.779
 just

 99%

 I'm

00:25:52.459 --> 00:25:52.619
 dead

00:25:52.619 --> 00:25:52.859
 lifting
