Faith can be difficult at the best of times, but can be especially tough when we feel God is leading us to do something we don't want to do. This sermon challenges us to examine the hardest question to answer: do we trust Jesus when he tells us he has our well-being at heart? When we are able to answer yes, our whole approach to life and its challenges will be transformed.

Scripture Reference: Luke 4:14-21
