Even though we experience hardships throughout our lives, God can be relied on to see us through them.  In fact, He uses those hardships to strengthen our relationship with Him.  Listen as Pastor Tommy Larson explains how our life hardships cause us to more fully rely on God; to remember what He did for us on the cross; to recall His past provisions; to rally others to pray for us - and in turn draw them closer to Him; and finally, our hardships cause us to rejoice in God's answers as we see how He brings us through them and the blessings we experience as a result.

Is God dead?  Time magazine headlined it as so several decades ago.  What can explain the decline of Christianity?  Newsweek magazine asked the question on its cover.  As Christians, we have a responsibility to recognize those who don't believe, don't accept Jesus for who He is.  We also must  acknowledge Who our Almighty God is.  Finally, we are challenged to repent ourselves and to do our part to restore those who still do not have the right relationship with God.  Listen as Pastor Tommy Larson opens the scripture and describes how we can meet this challenge in our daily walk.
