If you've ever wondered whether God wants to intervene in your life to give you a blessing, just think of the most over-the-top, sitting-on-the-edge-of-his-seat-with-anticipation, ready-to-shower-you-with-amazing-gifts type of dad, then multiply that a thousand-fold.

For this week’s message in our “Finding Favor” series, Troy shares about those times when God, in His favor, brings us to a place where we're angry at the messes we’ve made in our lives, and we finally throw up our hands and give up. We take real action because of this “Holy Discontent” that’s built up, where God helps us understand that something must change.

To introduce our new series based on the book, Finding Favor (by Brian Jones), Troy shares the truth that even in the midst of difficult circumstances, God gives us His perspective and uses scary, painful, counter-intuitive ways of bringing His best to us. God is always working for our good, even though we may not recognize it. God is good, all the time.

In today’s message, Troy challenges us with the truth that although pain doesn’t feel good, it is good in the sense of its purpose and the positive change it can bring about. We should consider the idea that the pain we’re experiencing might be a blessing from God, and that our greatest pain can actually be God’s greatest blessing.
