God’s Purpose in Pain - How Trials and Tribulations are essential?: Discover the Blessings Hidden in Every Trial

In this profound and transformative sermon, we reflect on one of the most misunderstood and deeply spiritual aspects of the Christian life: trials and suffering.

During the Holy Forty Days, when our Lord Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He walked the path of suffering before glory. And so must we. This video dives deep into the spiritual reality that suffering is not only part of the journey — it is the gateway to eternal life. "In the world you will have tribulation… But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

St. Paul, St. Peter, the martyrs, the apostles, the Virgin Mary — all walked through fire. Yet they emerged radiant. Their secret? They saw God in the fire. "If we suffer with Him, we shall also be glorified with Him." (Romans 8:17) In this sermon, you'll learn:
