When You Face Trials | Anna

During Student Takeover Weekend, student Anna delivered a powerful message about finding joy and hope even in the middle of life’s hardest trials. Drawing from passages such as James 1, Romans 5, and 2 Corinthians 4, she reminded us that suffering is not meaningless but can shape perseverance, character, and a deeper faith in God. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and thoughtful apologetics, Anna encouraged listeners to trust God even when life feels painful, uncertain, or overwhelming. She pointed to both the promises of God’s presence in suffering and the evidence of His design and faithfulness seen throughout creation and history. Ultimately, the message challenged the church to fix their eyes not on temporary struggles, but on the eternal hope and joy found in Christ.
