In this study:

• Grief is very real in the life of a believer. God doesn’t command us to be Stoics
• The faith of Christians will always be tested–like gold in the fire
• Christians whose faith has been tried in the fire are most useful to God
• How joy in suffering is a theme that runs throughout the New Testament
• How unbelievers may find joy in suffering to be impossible and nonsensical
• The huge importance  for the early church to know that the Gospel was rooted in Old Testament prophecy
• How God uses fulfilled prophecy to be a powerful evidence of His authorship of the Bible

Stay in the battle!
