The Blessing in Hardship

Ian’s sermon explores how counter-intuitive it is to ‘consider trials as joy’ (James 1:2) or “hardships as the pathway to peace” (serenity Prayer). However, avoidance of hardship (through blaming, ignoring, or addiction) is the path to destruction. Peace and Joy result from courageously facing our internal brokenness, and courageously obeying Christ, even when that takes us through trials. Christ is our example in this.
