Pastor John laid out why God is the center of our joy so clearly – including for those experiencing intense suffering – that I hope you will watch or listen to the entire sermon.
If you can’t watch it all, watch about 90 seconds from 3:05 to 4:35 to hear Pastor John talk about death and Christian hedonism. Yes, being satisfied in Christ is important at the moments of greatest pain.
And if you have only 2 and 1/2 more minutes, go to 43:20 of the sermon where he looks specifically at disability and weakness.

Listened to it last night on my drive home from work. Wow! What a passionate and praising message!
