The sermon came from Romans 8:17-25 (if you missed it check it out
here). Rod continued discussing the Christian and suffering. He spent some time in 2 Corinthians 12 talking about how God uses suffering to humble us and remind us that we are totally dependent on Him. Suffering can often be a means by which God helps us learn to kill our pride and submit to God.
One point that stuck out to me, that was really more part of the introduction of the sermon when he spoke about the believer's assurance of salvation, was when he said, "You will be glorified one day, not because you are holding on to God, but because he is holding on to you." I'm glad God is holding on to me, because my grip is weak.
