Presentation transcript:

Life is hard As children – we wonder if we’ll ever make it to adulthood: School, friend problems, bullying, etc. As adults – we still struggle Relationships: friends, marriage, children. Holding a job; supporting a family. Illness, accidents, death, etc. We begin to question, “why was I put here on earth?”

The trials of life: not unique to any one Elijah felt like it. 1 Kings 19:10 Jonah did as well. Jonah 4:3 Whether we’re so full of fear, anxiety, sadness, or anger it just feels difficult to go forward in life.

Trials – or “Tests” – are a part of “life” God ultimately tested Abraham’s faithfulness to fully trust in Him. Genesis 22:1, 11-12 He tested Israel after leaving Egypt. Exodus 15:25-26; 16:4 The purpose of such “tests” – to fully trust in our God and keep from sinning. Cp. Exodus 20:20; Deuteronomy 8:2

Trials within the church 1 Corinthians 3 Some Christians “do church” with immature/fleshly actions: jealousy, strife, etc. Vss. 1-4 To “pass the test” our life must be based upon works that endure. Vss. 11-13 By the grace of God even immature Christians can be saved! Vss. 14-17

Love guarantees you will “pass” Individually, when we’re faced with the daunting trials of life…find the good. James 1:2-5 Collectively, strive to work together. 1 Corinthians 3, 13 “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” (James 1:12)
