No Pain, No Gain

Everybody wants to experience the resurrection but few want to experience death. Yet, the only way to experience the resurrection is to first die. We want the gain without the gain--the glory without the groaning. But, a principle of God's creation is we must die if we want to live. In this text, Paul teaches us about the necessity of experiencing pain if we want the gain. This sermon will encourage anyone who is experiening hardships and difficulties.
