Suffering | Pastor Mark Pearce

Life is not free from suffering—but even in hardship, God calls us to live for His glory. In this message from our series In All You Do, we look at what Scripture teaches about suffering, and how our response can become an act of worship when we surrender it to the Lord.

Through the story of Job, the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Daniel’s trust in the lions’ den, and Paul and Silas worshiping in prison, we see three key attitudes that honor God in the midst of trials:

1️⃣ Stay faithful to God no matter the outcome

2️⃣ Trust His sovereignty and timing

3️⃣ Choose worship, even in the midst of pain

Suffering is not wasted when it draws us closer to God. He is still good, even when life is not.

📖 Key Scriptures: Colossians 3:23–24, 1 Peter 4:12–19, Job 1, Daniel 3 & 6, Acts 16, Romans 8:28

🙏 If you’re walking through suffering, this message will encourage you to remain steadfast, trust God’s plan, and find hope in His promise of restoration.
