Failure leads us to decide to depend on God or not. Learning God's Will helps us reconsider our definition of success.

Persevering in Faith

Ryan Lowery

Hebrews 3:3-19

The author of Hebrews warns his audience not to harden their hearts during difficult times, lest they not be able to enter God's rest. This passage is not talking about heaven, but rather experiencing the blessings and abundant life God wants to give us as we follow him. We can avoid hardening our hearts by spending quiet time listening to God, guarding our heart, giving generously, avoiding the trap of sin, and persevering to the end.

Paul's Testimony

Ben Foust

Being Broken by God

James Rochford

2 Corinthians 4:1-18

Paul addresses the timeless issue of Christian suffering and how we should respond. Although we often wish that God would bless us by removing suffering, the truth is, often we are blessed through suffering, which enables us to grow spiritually and experience God's closeness in a unique way. As we persevere through suffering in faith, our "outer man" becomes broken, allowing God's light to shine forth from within.
