Suffering is a 5-week, video-driven curriculum designed to equip men to discover how the Spirit guides them in times of trials.
The standard of Christian living we are to pursue is the Spirit-driven example set by the early Church. The book of Acts paints a powerful picture of the difference the Holy Spirit makes.
Suffering isn’t a glitch in the Christian life; it’s part of the design. As followers of Christ, we’re not called to avoid suffering but to endure it with purpose. Scripture tells us not to be surprised by hardship, but to recognize that God is never silent in it. This five lesson study It will challenge you to embrace God’s peace in the storm and live boldly for Christ, knowing full well that to follow Him means, at times, to suffer with Him.
Rick Burgess, best-selling author and host of the nationally syndicated radio show The Rick Burgess Show, starts each session with a 10-15 minute video introducing the session's focus. Then, for each small group session, there are leader and participant guides to help facilitate a meaningful time of discussion and Bible study.
Men aren't living fruitful faith lives because they are not actively seeking to grow in their faith. By leading a group through The Standard: Suffering, you’re equipping men to grow from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity.
