This week, Kia Naeole continues our series in the book of Romans with a powerful message called “Faith Gains.” In Romans 5, Paul shows us that life with Jesus isn’t about building physical strength but about growing spiritual muscle. Through faith, we are justified and receive incredible gifts: peace with God, access to His grace, hope that carries us through suffering, and the Holy Spirit pouring God’s love into our hearts.

Kia reminds us that faith is more than words—it’s a heart posture that transforms the way we live. Following Jesus doesn’t erase conflict or hardship, but it gives us endurance, character, and hope that never disappoints. Even in seasons of pressure and uncertainty, God is shaping us, strengthening us, and reminding us of His unfailing love.

If you’re carrying burdens today, let this message encourage you to lay them at the feet of Jesus. Stand firm—10 toes down—in His grace and trust that He is working all things together for good.
