Persevering in Faith in Good and Bad Seasons

“Our ability to persevere in faith is dependent on our revelation of the worthiness of Jesus.” How do we know that Jesus is worthy? Kalena spoke form Hebrews, where we are reminded that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses through the ages who have testified of his faithfulness and worthiness. We can persevere through every season as we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

The Basics- What is faith?

This week’s message explored the questions, “What is faith?” “What should we have faith in?” and “How should we have faith?” We were encouraged to act in faith by putting our trust in the person of Jesus. We were also challenged as believers to be intentional in praying for and seeking out opportunities to share our faith with others in our lives.

The Basics- Intro

Hue launched our new series, “The Basics,” with the encouragement that God has a plan for our lives much bigger than we could come up with ourselves. The blueprint for the plan is Obedience, Courage, and Perseverance. God’s plan has also always been to use the local church so we must remain rooted rather than try to go it alone.
