 John 11:28-44, Heb 4:15, Isa 53:3-5, Ps 34:18
 Jesus understands your pain, Suffering and hope, God meets us in suffering

Why does God allow suffering? What is suffering, and what can God do with it?

In this message from CrossWay Church in Tallahassee, we explore what the Bible says about suffering, spiritual battle, perseverance, discipline, and hope. Looking at passages like 1 Peter 5, James 1, Hebrews 12, and 1 Peter 2, this sermon helps us see that while suffering is real, it is not meaningless. God can use trials to grow faith, deepen endurance, and shape us to become more like Jesus.

If you are walking through pain, uncertainty, grief, injustice, or spiritual struggle, we hope this message encourages you to keep your eyes on Jesus and keep walking in faith.
