When You're Tempted to Back Up | Applause of Heaven 4

Standing firm in faith isn't always easy, especially when faced with ridicule and resistance. As a young Christian, I spearheaded a campus event called "Res Week," only to face unexpected mockery. This experience underscored a profound truth-following Jesus often invites opposition. There is a tension between being peacemakers and facing persecution. The journey of faith can be likened to planting seeds on rocky ground, as depicted in the Parable of the Sower. Initial enthusiasm can quickly fade when shallow roots meet adversity. We explore how to nurture those roots, transforming challenges into opportunities for spiritual growth. By sharing personal experiences and practical insights, we encourage you to cultivate resilience and stand firm in your beliefs, despite societal pressures. It's a journey of maturity and readiness, where deep, unwavering roots become your strongest ally.

Not only do we worship God through song, reading his word, and listening to the sermon, we can also worship through giving. When we give, we honor God with a percentage of our paycheck in GRATITUDE for all He does for us, and to help the church help more and more people find forgiveness and new life in Christ. Thank you!
