Pain of Gain

Sep 19, 2026  •  Pastor Lee Lukinovich

In this message titled Pain of Gain, delivered at District Church, Pastor Lee explores how believers can overcome difficulty in the sermon series on overcoming pain. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1-3 and Luke 22:39-46, Pastor Lee addresses the life of faith that exists in the gap between present struggles and future hope. Focusing on Jesus' example in the Garden of Gethsemane, the message outlines three principles for spiritual growth: letting go of weights and sin, running with endurance when facing resistance near the one yard line, and keeping our eyes fixed on the joy set before us. Through the presence and strength of the Holy Spirit, believers are encouraged to push through pain to reach God's ultimate purpose.
