5. Trials - Jim Logan & Paul Jordan

The sermon centers on the believer's response to false accusation, spiritual warfare, and the transformative power of surrendering one's reputation and struggles to God, emphasizing that Christ's victory on the cross has disarmed Satan and secured eternal forgiveness and freedom. Drawing from Colossians, it highlights how Jesus abolished sin, canceled the legal demands of the law, and triumphed over spiritual powers, while affirming that believers are delivered from darkness into God's kingdom, though not from its presence. The message calls for enduring the 'dark night of the soul' not by seeking escape, but by embracing God's hidden treasures found in suffering, trusting that divine power enables patience, long-suffering, and joy even in trial. It concludes with a powerful exhortation to stand unshaken in faith—rejecting compromise, embracing the cost of discipleship, and committing wholeheartedly to Christ, especially in a world increasingly hostile to biblical truth.
