The Christian experience is one that must be defined by perseverance. It's a concept that the Holy Spirit talked about a lot to our early brothers and sisters in the faith, because life is full of reasons to give in and give up. But Christians persevere in spite of all the things taht threaten to overthrow our faith. And we persevere because the reward of knowing Christ is worth all the trials and difficulties of life.

This is the final message in Northside's preaching theme series for the year: I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me.
