Scripture does not shy away from the fact that as we walk this life, we will face adversity. Following Christ does not take us away from difficulties, challenges, or adversity, it may heighten them—all for His glory. This week in our Metamorphosis series, we looked at adversity and found out how we can look at adversity as opportunity rather than a hindrance. In Philippians, Paul writes about his imprisonment due to sharing the Gospel, Paul is an example of howadversity can cause us to grow in Christ. Paul even exclaims, “for me to live is Christ, to die is gain.” We have an opportunity to bring the Gospel everywhere, we should not be ashamed of it, for Christ dwells in us if we have placed our trust in Him alone. Embracing adversity requires us to know that endurance inspires faith, we should rejoice in Gospel proclamation and recognize that adversity is a win-win. Join us in the latest sermon of the series, Embracing Adversity, and be encouraged to rejoice in your difficulties because when we are weak then we are strong.
