Suffering in Perspective

This morning marks the first of four messages that will have a focus on heaven.

In this week’s text, the apostle Paul seeks to compare our present sufferings with our future glory and his conclusion is that they are not comparable to one another. We have all had days when we might have found that hard to believe. Our suffering seems so painful, and heaven seems so far away.

The question becomes, what are the glories that are before us? What will heaven be like? What, as Christ-followers, can we expect to happen when we get there, and what impact should those things have on the life we’re living right now?
