Good Plans | My Story, My Song Part 4
About This Message
Speaker: Jesse Schenck
Summary:
Suffering is a part of life that none of us can avoid, yet it is rarely a topic we enjoy talking about. But when we look at the stories of David, Joseph, and others throughout Scripture, we see a profound truth: suffering happens on purpose and has a purpose.
In this fourth part of our series, My Story, My Song, guest speaker Jesse Schenck explores the message behind the song "Good Plans." While pain and hardship can upend our world, God uses these seasons—whether sin-inflicted, self-inflicted, or sanctifying—to shape us, build our endurance, and draw us closer to Him.
In this message, we discuss:
What suffering is and where it originates in a broken world.
The three types of suffering and how God uses them for our growth.
How to trust in God's faithfulness and take an active part in the transformation process when trials come.
