All of us face challenges in our Christian lives and like Peter are committed until the pressures builds. In the message I want us to see where our faith rests and how it will be tested along with the assurance that we have that it will be fulfilled.
When things go wrong, it is easy to think that God is nowhere, that he doesn’t care and that he can’t do anything. This incident from the life of Jesus shows us this couldn’t be further from the truth.
John 10:27-30 The True Christian having chosen and redeemed by God will persevere, because God continues to work in His life.
