Welcome to the sermon podcast of Trinity Church of Portland Oregon. This week, our message is from Hebrews 11:35-37 as well as numerous other scriptures and is titled “Sing For Joy Afflicted Saints” and was preached by our guest preacher, Sean Demars.

Our sermon this morning is intended to help us all to be more faithful Christians in the face of affliction through looking at the life and ministry of Paul. There are five primary truths related to affliction that we must remember. We are to expect affliction. We must also expect many kinds of affliction. We can expect fruit to come from our affliction. We must communicate our affliction rather than trying to suffer alone. Finally, we must expect justice for our affliction because God will render exact and perfect justice at the end of the age.
