The big idea of this sermon is that our circumstances, even in suffering, can serve to advance the gospel and inspire boldness in others, challenging us to embrace this truth rather than seeking only comfort and deliverance.

We give thanks for the love, spiritual wisdom, righteousness in Christ, and hope in the gospel in our church even as we pray for these to abound more and more.

One of the great promises in Scripture is that He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. In this sermon, we reflect on the nature of human experience, where we often start things but fail to finish due to limited resources or changing desires, contrasting this with God's unwavering faithfulness and sovereignty.
