1v2-18

In this message, Pastor Dean emphasizes the inevitability of trials in life and encourages believers to view them as opportunities for growth and maturity. He identifies two key purposes for these trials: they produce maturity and reveal our need for God, urging the congregation to pray for wisdom and increased faith during challenging times. Dean also discusses the battles of doubt and comparison that believers face, reminding them that everyone experiences difficulties and that these struggles are paths to spiritual maturity. Ultimately, he reassures us of God's goodness and steadfastness, affirming that every good gift comes from Him and that He is always for us.
