There's something in the human heart that longs to be self-reliant. But when it comes to religion, this desire to "earn our own way" can be absolutely deadly and lead us away from the gospel. Pastor Mike describes the danger of self-made religion and the true purpose of good deeds.
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.
