If you’re like me, you have lots of questions about the challenges of 2025. And even more about the challenges of next year.
How will I manage this? What if things don’t improve? When will I catch a break?
But underneath all those questions sits a bigger one: Why?
Why is this happening? Why now? Why me?
Even God’s most devoted followers wrestle with this question. The apostle Paul—who wrote much of the New Testament, planted churches across the ancient world, and experienced miraculous encounters with God—had his own season of asking why. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, Paul opens up about a time when the pressure became so intense that he “despaired of life itself.”
This Sunday, we’ll explore what Paul learned about comfort, community, and God’s surprising purpose in our hardest seasons. If you’re facing 2025 with more questions than answers, this message is for you.
Join us this Sunday as we discover why God’s greatest gifts sometimes come in the packaging we least expect. And for this reason, they are meant for us to regift to others.
