"Spiritual Suffering"
Pastor Greg shares a powerful personal dream about prayer ministry and God's presence, drawing parallels to Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The sermon explores the concept of spiritual suffering as a means of purification and growth, emphasizing the need to rid ourselves of malice, deceit, hypocrisy, and envy through dependence on God. The pastor discusses two bookends of spiritual suffering: being "slain in the spirit" (dramatic divine intervention like Saul's conversion) and "resting in the spirit" (gentle, nurturing spiritual growth). The central message encourages believers to groan in the Spirit, bringing their unholy desires and struggles before God, trusting that He knows exactly what each person needs for healing and transformation. The sermon announces a transition in the church's prayer ministry approach, to be discerned at an upcoming visioning retreat.
