Summary
The central message is that Christians should exult in tribulation, which serves as proof that they truly believe God's ways are wonderful and perfect. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus's coming was an act of love, not necessity, and that our ability to praise God during difficulty demonstrates our understanding of His incomprehensible grace. This response is rooted in the assurance that God will never allow temptation beyond what we can bear, always providing an escape.
Description
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Exult In Tribulation! Date: 03-18-2018 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

The speaker argues that while God's love is foundational, it is insufficient to achieve God's ultimate purpose. He posits that God's pleasure is superior to God's love, citing instances like Jesus' baptism and the Transfiguration where the Father declared, "This is my beloved Son; I am happy with him." The central message is that Christians should strive not only to know that God loves them but to live lives that bring Him pleasure.
