That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the Fellowship of his sufferings.
Come find comfort and renewed purpose in the Fellowship of the suffering..
Instead, it can propel us in missional solidarity with our suffering world.
Life is painful, but pain need not have dominion over us.
Though we naturally avoid suffering, Christians throughout church history have become powerful witnesses to Christ as a result of their brokenness.
They candidly share about their own struggles and how they have seen God\'s kingdom advance through Hardship and suffering.
Missionary Paul Borthwick and pastor Dave Ripper show how transformation through our personal pain enables us to minister faithfully to a hurting world.
But that\'s not the whole story.
Either way, Christians follow in the footsteps of our suffering Savior and participate in his suffering.
We might face Hardship because of our Christian commitment, or we may have challenges just from living in a fallen world.
It comes with the territory.
Philippians 3:10 (ASV) If we follow Jesus, we will experience pain.
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the Fellowship of his sufferings
