Coming up next

You and I would be entirely happy in following after Jesus, if it was always convenient. You know – it suits our agenda. Fits in with our plans. Doesn’t ever get uncomfortable. Yeah right! So when God calls us to do something that’s … inconvenient, well, that takes some faith.

Faith is an awesome thing – it’s a gift from God and one of the reasons God gives us faith and then takes us through trials to grow our faith is so that we can conquer the things of this world. That’s what the Bible teaches us. Problem is that when we’re in the middle of the conquering bit – well, that can get a bit scary.

When God calls us into something that’s really hard, scary, tough, radical … He does that sometimes, have you noticed – what we need is unwavering faith. Yeah, right! Where do you get that, pray tell?!
