When we choose to pursue someone romantically, it's generally because we find something about him or her attractive. But when God chose to pursue us, it wasn't because of our own merit! Pastor Mike Fabarez reminds us of the astonishing truth that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
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.
