On today’s broadcast, Pastor Jack Morris explores a profound question: How does the pain we experience in life connect us to God? While suffering is never easy, it often draws us closer to the heart of our Heavenly Father. As believers, our ultimate hope lies in Jesus and the promise of eternity with Him, but that hope isn’t just for the future—we can experience His presence, comfort, and transformation right now.

Romans 8:18

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
