MT Trip 2015 | Part 4: Grace Bible Church

{click photo to enlarge}

While I was in Montana on Sunday, July 19, 2015, I heard an awesome sermon at Grace Bible Church! It was taught by Pastor Brad Bigney, who is a pastor in Kentucky, but came to Montana to teach at the biblical counseling conference with my dad. Brad Bigney is a fluent speaker and teacher and has written several books about biblical counseling. I have really enjoyed his teachings, so I couldn't resist sharing this sermon with you, entitled "Suffering in Light of Eternity" based on Romans 8.

Here are some of my favorite Brad Bigney quotes from this sermon that I heard in Bozeman, Montana.

"Biblical hope is a confident expectation of future blessing based on the character and promises of God." - Brad Bigney

"The proper response to this groaning that we all sense and are all aware of is to embrace the groaning with a heart filled with hope because of the presence and power and promises of God." - Brad Bigney

"God is a personal, loving God who is inside your circle of pain and has done something about your circle of pain. He has redeemed it and you." - Brad Bigney

"Wake up everyday and say to yourself: 'This is not random...God is in control. I don't know what He is doing, but I know it's good and He has a specific purpose for my pain.'" - Brad Bigney

"Read God's Word carefully, prayerfully, and often." - Brad Bigney

Just days before church on Sunday, I got to meet Pastor Brad Bigney in person! I'm so thankful that I got to meet him -- he is one of the leaders in the biblical counseling movement! Not everybody can do that, and I guess it's one of the perks of being a pastor's kid!
