Perseverance is the focus of our message today. Following Jesus isn’t always easy, and life’s trials can test our faith. But we’re reminded that this world is not our true home. Our real citizenship is in God’s eternal kingdom, and that truth changes how we face the struggles of this life.

Perseverance means holding on to our faith and continuing to trust God, even when it’s hard. In a culture that prizes instant results and quick fixes, Christians are called to endurance and long-term faithfulness. This isn’t passive waiting, it’s an active, daily choice to rely on God’s strength and to keep pressing forward until the end.

As we talk about perseverance, we’ll look at how hope in Christ anchors us when everything else feels uncertain, and how the church family helps us stand strong together as we wait for the return of Jesus.

Takeaways:

• Perseverance is essential for every Christian walking through life’s challenges.
• Endurance takes daily commitment and dependence on God’s strength.
• The hope we have in Jesus anchors us in difficult times.
• We need each other—Christian community provides accountability, encouragement, and support in the journey of faith.
