Mead, Francel, and Ed discuss Sunday's message, and close out our Persevering Faith series. Examining the flawed people of Hebrews 11:32-40, we see that God uses any measure of faith that we give Him to accomplish the supernatural. While opposition and persecution will always exist, our faith must continue to grow in response to a God who is above all circumstances. Pastor Francel reminds the church that God declares, Satan denies, and we must decide who we will obey. Pastor Mead points out that the first thing Gideon did after encountering the Lord was to tear down the idols that his father had set up, and he challenges believers to consider their own lives and see if there's anything that we need to remove that we've set up before God. Ed brings up the importance of moving forward, pushing on to the end, and not losing sight of the goal ahead of us - Jesus Christ! God has done so much for mankind, and seeing all of His goodness, how much more so should we love and obey Him?
