About this episode

Pastor Mark Stinton discusses how God uses suffering to strengthen our faith, drawing insights from 2 Corinthians.

“Preparing the Way through the Next Generation” This week, as we kick off our latest series, Pono Church 2, Pastor Mark’s exploration of 2 Corinthians 1 and 2 challenges us to shift our understanding of suffering. God doesn’t shield us from it but uses it to shield us in Him. Like Shadrach in the fiery furnace, we encounter God within trials, not by escaping them. Paul addresses Corinthian dysfunction by returning them to the Gospel, where all of God’s promises find their “yes and amen” in Christ. #NewHopeKailua #PastorMarkStinton #2026Sermon #OnlineChurch #ChurchOnline #ChurchInKailua #YouTube #YouTubeChannel #Subscribe #Sub #Follow #Like If this is your first time visiting us, we'd like to get to know you: https://bit.ly/nhk-connect Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://bit.ly/nhk-sermons To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://newhopekailua.org/giving See what God can do through you.
