Pastor/Dr. David Murphy shows us the responses that Christians should have toward circumstances in life, the first being "Rejoicing in Hope" and then "Patient in Tribulation". We'll see that patience flows from hope, and hopelessness kills patience. We'll study the definition of patience and see biblical examples of those who were both patient and impatient in their tribulations. In closing, there are two inescapable realities of the Christian life: 1-this world is going to hate you, and 2-you will have tribulation in this world.
