Pressing Through To Victory

Jun 15, 2025    Rev. Kevin C. Benton

In our journey of faith, we often encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable. This powerful message reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, we're encouraged to recognize that we carry God's treasure within us, even in our earthly vessels. Though we may be troubled, perplexed, persecuted, and cast down, we are never truly destroyed. This scripture beautifully illustrates the resilience of the human spirit when coupled with faith. It's a call to press through our challenges, knowing that our strength comes from God. The message urges us to shift our perspective from asking 'Why is this happening to me?' to 'Why is this happening for me?' This subtle change can transform our approach to life's difficulties, helping us see opportunities for growth where we once saw only hardship. As we face our own 'crowds' of circumstances, opposition, and unbelief, we're reminded of the woman with the issue of blood who pressed through the crowd to touch Jesus' garment. Her story teaches us about the power of persistent faith and the importance of reaching out to Christ in our moments of need.
