Developing a Biblical Theology of Suffering

July 5, 2015 Series: Job: making sense of life at the foot of the cross

Scripture: Philippians 3:1–3:14

1. Paul’s Preparation to Suffer
     His values BEFORE he met Christ
     His values AFTER he met Christ
     This is Normal Christianity
     Next Step: Do I count everything as loss and Christ as gain? 
2. Paul’s Experience of Suffering
     2 Corinthians 11:22-31
     Next Step: Do I value Christ above all? 
3. Paul’s Goal (& God's Purpose) in Suffering
     To gain Christ
     Next Step: Ask God to enable you to make Christ your goal in suffering
Conclusion: "I could never myself believein God if it were not for the Cross. In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?" -John Stott
