Not everything in life is going to be easy. Sometimes we run into obstacles that we can't just go through quickly, and will take some work.....Or brings our lives to a stop until we can get past or resolve them.  There will be things that giving up is not an option, and the pain will remain until we do something about it.

     We need to look, ask, pray, and believe for the solution - and be open to however the answers come.

Pastor Greg talks about living our lives with the "end game" in mind.

Our lives should be bringing someone else eternal life.  People should know us by what we do, how we live our life.....Our actions.

What type of life do you lead?

Naaman - A valiant soldier..... What was he hiding from everyone??? His leprosy.

He hid it from others as we do our sin.

For him, Prophet Elisha from Samaria had a message that would cure it:

Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, "Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed."

Naaman was hesitant - Aren't we all?

He had a decision to make, and he had to be willing to do it....
