We often see Jesus depicted with a meek, tender smile, stroking a lamb. And these images aren’t exactly wrong, but they don’t tell the whole story of Jesus’ character. Pastor Mike Fabarez is talking about biblical gentleness and how it pairs with other aspects of Jesus’ character, like justice and wrath.
True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
