The sermon addresses God’s purpose in suffering, using Psalm 66:10-12 to explain that trials are divine tools for testing, purification, and humbling. Rather than questioning “why,” believers should embrace these “furnace” moments to refine their character, deepen their prayer life, and move toward a place of spiritual abundance.
Edward Hovsepian Mehr delivers a powerful testimony on the transformative power of praise. Drawing from personal experiences of martyrdom and grief in Iran, he argues that praising God’s sovereignty—even amidst “illogical” suffering—breaks spiritual oppression, confuses enemies, and paves the way for divine miracles and personal healing.
This bilingual sermon explores the tension between God’s changeable and unchanging wills. Using biblical examples and personal grief, Brother Edward argues that true spiritual maturity is found in surrendering personal desires to God’s sovereign plan, trusting that His ways are higher than our understanding, even in suffering.
