Summary

Here's a crazy thought: Suffering is actually essential for spiritual growth and maturity - not exactly what everyone's preaching these days. Join Chip as he explains how the experience of suffering can bring us closer to Christ.

Review: Hope: The mental and emotional attitude that life is good, the future is promising, and progress is certain… even in the midst of difficult circumstances and challenging relationships.

Question: How do we experience this true HOPE in everyday life?

Answer: Philippians 3:10-11

Paul’s hope and consuming passion:

“I want to KNOW Christ (yada - Hebrew)

and the POWER of His resurrection, (dunamis - Greek)

and the FELLOWSHIP of His suffering, (koinonia - Greek)

BECOMING like Him in His death. (morphe - Greek)

and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”

How do we experience this intimate relationship with Jesus?

His POWER in our weakness. - Romans 8:11 & 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
His PRESENCE in our pain. - 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 & Romans 5:1-5
His LIFE in our death. - Romans 6:4-7 & Galatians 2:20
