I enjoyed New Direction Community Church in Vancouver WA. When I went I heard the sermon on Long Suffering. Something I really liked. Here are a couple of notes from it. 1 Sometimes we suffer becuase of the sins of others and not becuase of our own sins. 2 Sometimes suffering is not our fault. It just happens. In this case we react to suffering is the key or point. 3 Sometimes God sends suffering as a consequence of our sins. He disciplines us because he loves us and wants to correct us and restore us to him. 4 Remember how the Lord God led you through the wilderness for 40 years, humbling and testing you. to find out weather or not you would really obey his commands. Duet 8:2. 5 Sometimes God tests us with suffering to encourage us to obey him. That is all for but thought is was a good sermon from this church in vancouver wa. God Bless
