StreetWise Pt 2 - The Truth About Trials & Tribulations

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 1, 2025 53:47


Justin explores the theme of enduring trials with faith, emphasizing that suffering is an inevitable part of life in a fallen world, but through perseverance and reliance on God, individuals can grow spiritually and find joy not in the trials themselves, but in what they produce—maturity, strength, and deeper faith. Believers need to practice two disciplines: "consider" (self-talk grounded in biblical truth) and "ask" (prayerfully seeking God's wisdom). Rachel Windram also shares her deeply moving story of losing her husband in a tragic accident and how her faith in God sustained her through grief.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit
