Last week we heard about how our actions bring on much of our own suffering. Tonight we're going to hear about several categories of undeserved suffering and how God uses them for our benefit. For unbelievers, God uses suffering as a wake-up call to turn them to faith in Christ. For believers, this suffering can motivate us to spiritual growth. We need to remember that we are being observed by others when we suffer to see if we are trusting God and are joyful.

What is beauty? The Bible says a lot about objective, intrinsic beauty which fits eternal guidelines. Hear twelve biblical standards for beauty and find out that we can evaluate music we sing in church by these standards. All that we do should be to glorify God, which means pursue excellence in our music which conforms to the standards of Philippians 4:8. Look to God's creation to see excellence in beauty and observe a chart that contrasts pop culture with traditional/high culture.
