-------------------

Everyone faces struggles, but the real question is what those struggles reveal about you. Job said our days are few and full of trouble, and marriage brings its own set of challenges. In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul reminds us that challenges expose whether we’re relying on ourselves or on God’s strength.

When life breaks you, what do others see: emptiness or the hope of Christ? God calls you to trust His mercy, hold together in unity, and let His light be seen in your life. Watch this message and be encouraged to let Christ’s life shine through your challenges.
