Present Suffering, Future Glory

·36 min·1 clip

To please God, to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness - a weight of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain.

Pastor Dave Ripper of Crossway Christian Church delivers a sermon on present suffering and future glory, drawing extensively from C.S. Lewis's famous 1941 'Weight of Glory' sermon and Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. He explores how suffering produces perseverance and character, unpacks Lewis's framework of glory as both divine approval (fame) and luminosity, and encourages the congregation to fix their eyes on the eternal rather than the temporary during hardship.
