Life is so hard Everything is against me

At times a trial cam come upon us so suddenly that it can overwhelm us if we are not careful and for the moment lose sight of God's working in our life. In this sermon Mr. Smith looks at the examples of Job and Jacob where trials took place. To show us how we should face such trials Mr. Smith then looks at examples from Elisha and Jesus where they kept sight of God's involvement in their lives.
