Overcome Part 3 // Kelly Walter // As the year comes to a close we begin to reflect on what needs to change in our lives. This normally leads to a list of resolutions for the new year, only to find ourselves back at square one. Our struggles begin to seem immovable as they become part of our identity. What if there were a better way? What if we really could make a change? Could we really overcome? Join us this Christmas season as we take a deeper look and learn how to overcome addiction, depression, anger and insecurity.

Cynicism and negativity may be the easy choice, but they’re not the best choice. This five-week series from Pastor Ryland Walter helps us choose to be more optimistic, enthusiastic, encouraging, generous, and grateful in spite of all the negativity we experience in this world. Let's embrace the way we were created to think and choose joy.

Scripture affirms that the Christian life is a call to glory through suffering. Accordingly, on a daily basis Christians around the world face persecution in various forms, including discrimination, physical assaults, violence and even death...

The Bible, in Hebrews 13:3, command Christians to pray for those suffering as if they themselves were suffering. In other words, the Bible calls us to not only remember those who suffer but also to identify with them in their suffering. In keeping with this scriptural imperative, the International Days of Prayer (IDOP) for the Persecuted Church has united millions of Christians around the world in the spirit that scripture commands: If one suffers, we all suffer.

According to statistics, persecution is the daily reality of at least 100 million Christians around the world. These Christians, who face routine harassment and difficulties, often suffer in silence and isolation. Over the years, the IDOP has served as a platform to highlight their stories and advocate their plight. Moreover, in so doing, the IDOP has also been a source of solidarity and encouragement to persecuted Christians by reminding them that they are part of a larger, global family of believers.

We believe that God uses the prayers of his people to strengthen and deliver suffering saints. However, that’s not all. Even though persecution and suffering may be the present reality for some believers, the Scriptures promise that their journey, ultimately would be from ashes to glory. As such, we are convinced that though sorrow is the present reality of those suffering for Christ, triumph is their ultimate reward.

Let’s pray that in spite of the pressure and persecution, our suffering brothers and sisters –where ever they may be in the world — would stand firm in their faith, holding fast to the promises of God in Christ.

There are questions we all ask. Big questions that have a huge effect on our lives. But with all the information out there, it can make finding a solution difficult. So we came up with a better way to give you the answers you need. We did a survey and compiled a list of your most asked questions. That list then became a road map for this message series. Each week we’ll examine a single question and discover God’s answers based on His Word.
