    MONSTERS: Faith and the Problem of Pain

    God FOR Us and WITH Us

    Bobby Humes

    Today's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:1-4, 4:7-12, & 4:16-18 ESV

    __________

    John 16:33 ESV

    33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

    Romans 5:3-4 ESV

    Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

    Psalms 119:71 ESV

    It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.

    2 Corinthians 1:1-4 ESV

    Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

    2 Corinthians 4:7-12 ESV

    But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.

    2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV

    So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

    1) THE FATHER

    2 Corinthians 1:3 ESV

    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

    Micah 7:18-19 MSG

    Where is the god who can compare with you - wiping the slate clean of guilt, Turning a blind eye, a deaf ear, to the past sins of your purged and precious people? You don't nurse your anger and don't stay angry long, for mercy is your specialty. That's what you love most. And compassion is on its way to us. You'll stamp out our wrongdoing. You'll sink our sins to the bottom of the ocean.

    2 Corinthians 1:4 ESV

    who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

    2) THE SON

    2 Corinthians 1:5 ESV

    For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.

    1 Peter 4:12-13 ESV

    Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

    2 Corinthians 1:6 ESV

    If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

    Isaiah 48:10 ESV

    Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.

    3) THE BROKEN

    1 Corinthians 4:7 ESV

    2 Corinthians 12:10 ESV

    2 Corinthians 4:8-12 ESV

    2 Corinthians 4:10 ESV

    4) TOMORROW TODAY

    2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV

    Faith Wins - February 8, 2026
    Feb 8 2026
    LEGO: A Foundation That LastsFaith WinsJon FredricksToday's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 NIV__________ 2 Corinthians 1:24 NIV24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm. Hebrews 10:38 NIVAnd, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.” Matthew 25:23 NIV“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Luke 18:8 NIVI tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Hebrews 11:1 NASB1995Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 NIV7 … because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 1) PRIORITIZES NEARNESS2 Corinthians 12:1-4 NIVI must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. Mark 9:7-8 NIV7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” 8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus. 2) CHOOSES GRATITUDE2 Corinthians 12:7-8 NIV 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV Matthew 14:19 NIVAnd he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 3) LIVES SURRENDER2 Corinthians 12:10 NASB1995 Hebrews 13:5 NIVKeep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Philippians 4:11-13 NIV James 4:15 NIVInstead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” Luke 1:38 NIV“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. Romans 14:8 NIVIf we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 4) DRIPS WITH STRENGTH2 Corinthians 12:10 NIV Philippians 4:6-7 NIV6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 11:13-16 NIV Acts 4:13 NIVWhen they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Hebrews 10:38 NIVAnd, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back. Matthew 25:23 NIV“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

    Today's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:11 GNT

    __________

    2 Corinthians 13:11 GNT

    11 And now, my friends, good-bye!

    2 Corinthians 3:11 NIV

    11 Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

    2 Corinthians 3:11 WE

    11 Now, my brothers, in closing I say, `Goodbye.' Be what you should be. Listen to what I say. Be good to each other. Agree with one another. Live in peace with one another. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you.

    1 Peter 2:10 NIV

    10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God…

    Psalm 68:6 NIV

    6 God sets the lonely in families…

    John 13:34-35 NIV

    34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

    1) MEND WHAT IS BROKEN

    Luke 15:2 NIV

    2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
    Luke 15:6 NIV

    6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’

    Luke 15:9 NIV

    9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’

    Luke 15:22-28 NIV

    22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.

    2) FROM THEM BEFORE ME

    Hebrews 3:13 NIV

    13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

    Hebrews 10:25 NIV

    25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

    3) FIND AGREEMENT

    Philippians 2:1-4 NIV

    Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

    Matthew 18:19 NIV

    19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

    4) CULTIVATE PEACE

    Mark 9:50 NIV

    50 "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

    Romans 12:18 NIV

    18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
