Do you feel like quitting today? In your most honest conversations, do you feel like giving up and just saying to God, "I'm done"? If you need to know how to hang tough in really tough times join Chip as he reveals how you can not only survive tough times but, believe it or not, experience joy!

KEY #4: Expectation

  • What are my expectations? -Philippians 1:27-30

What does God expect?

  • Consistent conduct -Philippians 1:27a

What does"consistent conduct" look like?

  • Stand firm = Don't give up
  • Contending = Don't give in
  • Not frightened = Don't shrink back

What can we expect from God?

  • 2 Gifts = Granted: a privilege or "gracious gift" AND Struggle: Conflict, suffering, persecution

Six possible reasons we suffer:

1. My sin --Galatians 6:7-8

2. Others' sins --Psalm 49:1

3. Spiritual attack --Job, Ephesians 6

4. Fallen world --Luke 13

5. Spiritual disicipline --Hewbrews 12

6. Spiritual development --2 Corinthians 12:9-10
