Suffering's Benefit
Pastor David Gibbs - 8/31/2014
2 Corinthians 1:1-11
Because suffering reveals weakness, let it lead us to God.
1. Lead us to serve others (v.3-7)
• when we are afflicted we should turn our attention outward rather than inward
• the suffering we go through prepares us to give help to others
• is that the mindset of the church? Is that our personal mindset toward our sufferings?
2. Lead us to trust God (v.8-10)
• afflictions teach us to trust in God rather than ourselves
• are we willing to trust God no matter what He allows to come into our life?
3. Leads us to value prayer (v.11)
• we become a person/church of passionate prayer once we've come through an affliction
• all are allowed to come before God in prayer
