Refining Faith

Refining Faith, explores how trials serve a greater purpose in shaping and strengthening our faith, pointing us to the coming glory revealed in Jesus Christ. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:6-12, the sermon highlights three key truths: trials refine faith like gold through fire, faith empowers us to love and trust Christ even without seeing Him, and the prophets foretold this glorious salvation we now experience. Through personal stories, biblical insights, and powerful illustrations, we are reminded us that suffering is not random but serves God’s refining work, deepening our joy and dependence on Him. Ultimately, trials don’t just happen to us—they happen for us, leading to praise, glory, and honor when Christ is revealed.
