What would make you willingly suffer loss, ridicule, or even death?In this powerful message, Grant Nelson walks us through the heart-wrenching yet hope-filled truths from Hebrews 11, Romans 5, and 1 Corinthians 15, centering on the paradox of Christian suffering. From ancient martyrs to present-day believers, followers of Christ have endured hardship—not because suffering is enjoyable, but because the hope of resurrection is real. This sermon challenges listeners to evaluate what they're living for—and what they're willing to endure for something greater than this life. You’ll walk away encouraged to stand firm, even when faith costs you something. If you’ve ever wrestled with suffering, doubt, or endurance in the Christian life, this sermon offers clarity, conviction, and hope.
