Imprisoned

No suffering goes to waste in the good plans of our sovereign God. We see glimpses of this truth through the surprising number of prison stories recorded in the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, God's people are thrown into dark dungeons, locked behind closed doors, and exiled to remote lands. Some of these individuals endured by trusting the Lord; others wavered in their faith. All of them leave valuable lessons about God's purposes for the trials that we face in this life. In this teaching series, Dr. Derek Thomas draws out these lessons from Scripture to help us look to Christ in even the most difficult circumstances. Audio MP3 CD. Twelve 23-minute messages.

Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas is senior minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, S.C., and Chancellor's Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary. He is a Ligonier Ministries teaching fellow and author of many books, including How the Gospel Brings Us All the Way Home, Calvin's Teaching on Job, Strength for the Weary, and, with Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson, Ichthus: Jesus Christ, God's Son, the Saviour.
