The sermon encourages listeners to view their struggles as opportunities for growth and to impact others positively through their response to adversity.


Key Points:

The absence of God's leadership leads to moral and social chaos


Isolation during hardship can lead to desperation and destructive decisions


How we handle hardship can lead others to praise God


Our pain can become a purpose for someone else's praise


Even in our emptiness, God is at work and preparing to fill us
