Summary
The sermon focuses on how God tests Christians through trials and temptations, not to punish them, but to evaluate their spiritual maturity and determine what blessings they can be trusted with. Bro Mike emphasizes that these tests are essential for spiritual growth and advancing to higher levels in one’s Christian walk. He warns about the danger of falling back into bondage after deliverance and highlights how Satan often uses flattery and false positivity to derail Christians who are successfully passing their tests.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to discuss your Word, help us understand the purpose behind our trials. Open our hearts to receive your wisdom and give us discernment to recognize both the tests and the blessings that come from them. Guide our discussion and help us grow stronger in our faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
