We are so naturally worldly in our thinking, both about Jesus and his mission, and about ourselves and our discipleship. While we would like to imagine that being a Christian will lead to worldly glory and comfort, Jesus calls us to see the centrality of the cross to his mission – and to understand the call of discipleship, to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow him.
Find comfort in knowing that God has a plan to help us carry out the work of the ministry.

How can we say "three days and three nights" when it's less than 72 hours? What year was Jesus crucified? How can Hebrews (and James) say "draw near" if we're already one with Christ? How are there saints coming down with Christ if they are just being raptured?
Not all worship is acceptable to God. Through the account of Cain and Abel, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the difference between saving faith and empty religion.
Abel came to God in obedient faith, offering the sacrifice God required. Cain approached God on his own terms—and his rejection reveals the danger of self-will, works without repentance, and worship disconnected from obedience.
Abel’s sacrifice also points forward to Jesus Christ, whose shed blood alone provides salvation for sinners. His example reminds us that genuine faith does more than profess belief: it submits to Scripture, obeys God, and leaves a testimony that can speak for generations.
This episode calls believers to:
True faith obeys. True worship honors God. And, like Abel’s, a faithful testimony can still speak long after death.
Scripture Focus: Hebrews 11:4
