Perseverance On The Path

Aug 17, 2025    Rev. Kevin C. Benton

In our spiritual journey, we're called to persevere through trials with unwavering faith. The book of Hebrews reminds us to 'hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering.' This isn't just about believing when times are good, but maintaining our grip on God's promises even when life's storms rage. We're encouraged to see trials as opportunities for growth, to 'count it all joy' as James teaches. Our God is faithful, and He uses these challenges to refine us and give us clarity on who He is and who we are in Him. As we face life's hurdles, let's remember that we have a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. We're not alone in this walk; we're surrounded by fellow believers who can encourage and support us. This message challenges us to maintain our confidence in God's promises, understanding that sometimes His timing differs from ours. Just as a marathon runner needs endurance, our spiritual walk requires steadfastness. We're reminded that God's love is steadfast, even when we struggle or fail. By filtering our thoughts and actions through God's Word, we can discern His will for our lives Let's commit to holding onto our faith, knowing that our perseverance has great reward, both in this life and the next.
