The Eternal Weight of Glory

Gary DeLashmutt

The Christian life is described in the Bible as one which requires perseverance in a spiritual war. Gary DeLashmutt examines the connection between the eternal life and the endurance required in the Christian life. By increasingly anticipating life in Heaven with God, the current issues of this life are not eliminated, but put in proper perspective.

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

Acts 25:1-26:32

After a long ministry, Paul's life ends in imprisonment, just as God had revealed it would. Nevertheless, he faithfully shares his story of how Jesus transformed his life and gives the gospel to anyone who will listen. Paul is an example of a life lived faithfully to the end and of God working in even the hardest of circumstances for the good.

Radiating the Life of Christ

Conrad Hilario

2 Corinthians 4:1-18

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.

Persevering Through Failure

Ryan Lowery

John 21:1-11

The last chapter in the book of John shows an interesting interaction between the resurrected Jesus and the apostle Peter. Jesus knew about Peter's shortcomings and he didn't stay silent about them. He showed Peter his potential, warned him of his weaknesses, and prayed for Peter's success. While Peter failed by denying Christ three time, failure can reveal our true heart - whether we are serving for our selves and our own glory or serving out of gratitude.

The Waiting is the Hardest Part

Liz Sweet

Psalms 130:5

Waiting is an inevitable and frustrating part of life, and the Christian life is not exempt. Though we often short circuit what God wants to do through our waiting, waiting is necessary. This is in part because God is sovereign and knows what is best far beyond our own perceptions. This means that He also has His own timing. We often yearn for growth and change but they take time, as does forming a deeper relationship with our Creator. As we examine reasons why we are called to wait, and who the God is that calls us to wait, we can arrive at a confident hope in our Lord.
