It's not always easy to live out our faith, but we want to run the race of life with determination to honor the Lord, just like Jesus did. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses preparing for inevitable hardships, striving to be overcomers, and following Jesus' lead on how to manage difficulties. Pastor Allen shares moments from Jesus' life and ministry to demonstrate that difficult situations or seasons can be a part of God's plan for our lives, but we don't have to be afraid or anxious. There's a spiritual war waging in the earth today, and developing a courageous faith can protect us from deception and enable us to victoriously finish the race God has set before us. We will face challenges, but God will help us overcome because He is faithful.
