Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known passages of Scripture. It is so widely read because people everywhere experience pain, suffering, and trials. As we follow the Lord as our shepherd, he leads us through the valley of the shadow of death into a beautiful hope.

Everyone wants to be free, yet few understand what freedom truly means. Freedom is not about the ability to do whatever you want. It’s about being able to live the life that you were created for. This true freedom is only found in serving Christ.

Every marathon comes with its fair share of chaffing, cramping and broken toenails. Pain is unavoidable, but God has the ability to transform us during our trials. How can we grow through our pain and find the joy that’s waiting for us at the finish line? Endurance is just one step away. 
 
Title: Endurance
Series: Run the Race
Text: Romans 5:3-5
Speaker: Andrew Branham
 
Discussion/Reflection Questions:
 
What is the most physical pain you have ever been in?  
How are you experiencing pain in your life right now? Can you identify ways that God is growing your character and giving you hope? 
Read Hebrews 12:1-3, How can we see endurance in the life of Christ?
What’s a far-fetched, soul stretching goal you have for your faith? What’s the first step you can take in that direction? What’s your 1% goal for growth this week?
What is the joy that could be waiting for you on the other side of your pain/problem?
Pray: ask God to give you patience, increase endurance and reveal His purpose in your pain.
