When we experience hardship because of our advocacy for the Lord, we should remember it's not a desperate season—it's a season of blessing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our assignments from God and the encouragement He offers in the midst of turmoil. Scripture repeatedly reminds us that our missions here on Earth won't always be easy, but Jesus tells us He is always with us and there are rewards for perseverance. Pastor Allen draws from the lives of messengers like Jeremiah, Daniel, and the apostle Paul to show how God preserved and rewarded their endurance. Let's remember to be encouraged and not afraid when we travel through shadowed valleys because we know God is walking with us as we fulfill His purposes.
