Playback speed
Welcome to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. In today's episode, Pastor Colin delves into the profound questions that many of us have when facing life's trials. Why does God allow these hardships in our lives, and what good can come from them? Drawing from the Apostle Peter's writings, specifically 1 Peter 1:3-9, Colin explores the concept of Tested Faith – faith that has been refined and proven genuine through trials.Throughout this enlightening discussion, Pastor Colin reassures listeners that while suffering is inevitable, it serves a greater purpose. Our faith, when tested, becomes more precious than gold. It's a powerful reminder that God's presence is with us in our darkest times, and that the trials we endure will ultimately result in praise, honour, and glory when Jesus Christ is revealed.
