Peter and the others who boldly proclaimed the gospel of Christ persisted with joy, despite hardship, delay, and persecution. In fact, they were strengthened by the very tribulation meant to discourage them! Pastor Mike Fabarez explains that the difficulties we face when we share the gospel are a predicted part of advancing God’s Kingdom.
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.
