Today on Summit Life with JD Greer.

Some of you have been disciplined.

Some of you are being disciplined right now.

And what I want you to know is that he is doing it in love.

He is doing it because he wants you to learn to love and trust him.

I know that it feels painful.

I know that sometimes you feel like God is trying to destroy you.

But his intentions are not your destruction.

His intentions are your healing.

Welcome back to Summit Life, the Bible Teaching Ministry of Pastor, Author, and Theologian, JD Greer.

As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitavitch, and we are so glad that you're back with us this week.

Let me ask you something.

Do you have pain, disappointment, or unanswered questions in your life?

I know I do.

Well, today we're kicking off a new teaching series called Kingdom Come,

with a message about understanding real faith in spite of the challenges that life throws at us.

As a reminder, if you'd like to study the complete, unedited transcripts that go along with this message,

you can always view them free of charge when you visit us at JD Greer.com.

Pastor JD titled today's message, Surprise.
