Are You God's Punching Bag? Finding Purpose in Pain
Ever feel like you’re getting hit from every direction, wondering if God’s forgotten you? You’re not alone. In this powerful sermon, we tackle those moments when life feels relentless-like you're God’s 'punching bag.' We dig into personal struggles, uncovering hope and purpose even when it feels like the hits won’t stop. Drawing from Psalms and Acts, we explore how your pain might be a divine appointment, a place where God’s greater purpose can shine through. Through the wisdom of Gamaliel and the apostles, we learn that suffering isn’t wasted; it’s part of God’s redemptive plan for our lives.
You’ll discover practical steps to move from feeling overwhelmed to embracing God’s sovereignty: finding courage, trusting His unstoppable plans, and living out your faith even in the toughest times. This message is for everyone-from those new to faith to seasoned believers-offering a fresh perspective on seeing God’s hand in every trial.
Watch now, and let God turn your pain into purpose. If this message speaks to you, share it with a friend, comment below on your biggest takeaway, and join us as we learn to trust God's plan together.
