Jesus thrives in the face of opposition. If you look at cultures through the centuries that have outlawed Christianity, you don’t see a pattern of people abandoning their faith and dying out in that place. It's in those places where the enemy is hardest at work that Jesus comes to life in the hearts of His followers and spreads like fire. As Pastor Ricky reminds us in today’s message, while the battles of life will continue, Jesus has won the victory and His kingdom is actively growing in this world.
