“Purpose in the Pain” - 5pm The River Service

Sep 20, 2026 • The Rev. Charlie Holt

This sermon teaches that suffering does not have to be meaningless or hopeless, because when believers view their hardships through Christ, even painful circumstances can become opportunities for God to reveal His presence, accomplish His purposes, and bear fruit through their lives. Drawing from Paul’s imprisonment and the suffering of the Philippian church, it emphasizes that Christians are called to stand firm and strive side by side, facing adversity together rather than allowing hardship to isolate and defeat them individually. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to trust God’s sovereignty in the darkest circumstances, finding unity with Christ and one another through suffering and believing that God can mysteriously redeem even brokenness, pain, and loss for His glory.
