Sermon and Small Group Series - April 12- May 31 - 40 Verses About Perseverance in Faith

Pastor Mark Muenchow, mmuenchow@messiahokc.org, 405-946-0681

Perseverance in faith is an essential part of our Christian walk. It’s the ability to keep going, even when things get tough and we feel like giving up. These verses remind us that we are not alone in our struggles. Through Jesus we can find strength to push through hardships. In life we face challenges that can shake our faith. Yet, the Bible encourages us to hold on tightly to our faith and trust in God’s plan for us. As we meditate on these beautiful passages may they help inspire and motivate us to continue the good fight of faith! Contact Pastor Mark if you are interested in leading a small group or want to be a part of one of the small groups during this series.
