A Sunday sermon given by Pastor Chris Gilbert titled "The Furnace of Affliction" Sunday May 18, 2025

Join Pastor Rick, Pastor Steve, Bob Pettis, and me as we discuss the first three chapters of 1 Thessalonians. We examine the ministry that Paul had, the affliction of believers, and his affection for others.

SOLITUDE & PRAYERIn these verses from Mark 1:29-38, we see Jesus exemplifying the importance of solitude and prayer in His own life. After a busy day of ministry and healing, Jesus sought out a deserted place to spend time in communion with His Father.

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Trusting God's sovereignty, love, and wisdom in times of affliction Subtitle: Puritan Devotional Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Grace Audio Treasures Event: Devotional Date: 4/22/2025 Bible: Job 23:10; Hebrews 12:5-12 Length: 2 min.

Heavenly Father, Sovereign Lord of all creation,I come before You in humility, acknowledging that You are the God who ordains all things according to the counsel of Your will. Nothing befalls me apart from Your divine purpose, and even in my affliction, I trust that You are working all things for my good and for Your glory.Lord, You have said in Your Word that trials refine us like gold in the furnace. Though I do not always understand Your ways, I know that Your wisdom is perfect, and Your love is steadfast. Teach me to submit to Your wise providence, to see affliction not as punishment, but as a means of transforming me into the image of Your beloved Son.Strengthen me, O God, that I may not grow weary in suffering, but instead, fix my eyes on Jesus, who endured far greater affliction for my sake. Help me to take comfort in Your promises: that You will never leave me nor forsake me, that Your grace is sufficient for me, and that no trial can separate me from the love of Jesus.Father, in my weakness, uphold me by Your righteous right hand. When my heart is heavy, remind me that this light and momentary affliction is preparing for me an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. Let my trials deepen my dependence on You, increase my love for You and Your Word, and conform me more into the image of Your Son.In the name of my Redeemer, Jesus, who bore my sins on Calvary's cursed tree. Amen."God does not chasten us because He is angry, but because He loves us. Whom the Lord loves, He chastens. By affliction, the Lord separates the sin that He hates, from the soul that He loves.""He knows the way that I take. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as

Psalm 119:67, "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey Your Word."Affliction is never accidental for the believer. Every trial, pain, and hardship, is sovereignly appointed by God for His glory and our good. The world sees suffering as meaningless, or merely as an obstacle to their happiness. But Scripture teaches that suffering is a tool in the hands of our loving Father . . . to purify our faith, to humble our pride, and to draw us nearer to Jesus."But He knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I will come forth as gold." Job 23:10 God often uses affliction: to bring His people to repentance, to teach them humility, to refine them in the furnace of affliction, to draw them closer to Himself, to cause them to live a more holy life, to strengthen their faith, and to conform them to Christ.God's rod is a pencil to draw Christ's image upon us!God's people never grow strong in grace without trials. Troubles are the tools with which God polishes His jewels. The pruning knife is never out of His hand, and it is never used without wisdom or love.Affliction is not the end of the story. One day, every tear will be wiped away, every pain will be no more, and we will see our trials as God's instruments that shaped us for eternity. Until that day, we endure with faith, knowing that God is working out His perfect plan."I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Romans 8:18 "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen--since what is seen is

Send us a textWhat could there possibly be able to be appreciated about affliction? Most would say absolutely nothing; which is why being a "faith healer" is big business. These charlatans make millions and millions on telling people that it is God's will to have you physically healed and strong. They will tell you Jesus died to take away your afflictions, therefore, you are made physically complete in Jesus if you just focus on Him and have faith in Him. While the Apostle Paul is no longer alive, we know for certain what he would say to these people and their followers! And he doesn't mince any words!Thanks for tuning in!
