"Not a Resting Place"
EPISODE 118
Prove Your Mettle in Difficulty
From the Tokyo Olympics to the "wise man" who "built his house on the rock," this week we set our sights on character growth. When trials test our mettle, how do we respond? And how does hope fuel our perseverance? We answer those questions in a "character" edition of our recurring word-study segment, Heavy Words. Then we close the episode by looking in the mirror and discovering how God has pruned us, purified us, and pointed us toward greater patience.
Takeaways
The Big Idea: If we never faced difficulties, we would miss the opportunity to show love, faith, courage, and perseverance.
