It is my hope to hear what the Holy Spirit left with you from Sunday's Worship Services and Celebrations. It can be something from the sermon, song, hymn, prayer, or creed. Please identify the church, pastor, worship leader, worship team, or author depending what you remember.
This Sunday at City of Hope Church in Columbia, MD. Pastor Ince preached from the Job 28:12-28 focusing on finding the wisdom in suffering. While Pastor Ince made several great points (check out his sermon ) he made two points that stuck with me. 1) When people suffer and we can link it to their actions (smoking - lung cancer, over drinking - liver disease), we tend to be less gracious even state they are getting what they deserve. 2)When people suffer and we cannot link it to a direct sin, we are left with God doing something unimaginable or the person must be hiding a sin. In John 9 the disciples have this same question. Jesus responds by telling them "... that the works of God might be displayed in him (the blind man)." What works is God displaying through your suffering?
