Count it All Joy

This is my latest sermon, preached at a larger church, and in much fear and trembling. :) It is on the topic of trials. I have been told this is one of my better sermons, though I must say it is only God's mercy that anything good comes from this meager attempt. I do have one disclaimer... I was quite nervous this time, and at one point called Christ "the new creation Himself", which is an error (since Christ is uncreated). What I meant to do was refer to Rom. 8:29 where Jesus is called, "the firstborn among many brethren." Anyway, just know I didn't mean it the way I said it and am not advocating some error. Other than that, let me offer this sermon to the general public as my worship to God. I truly lay out my heart and my passion here as an offering to the Lord.
