Pastor Stephens brings a powerful message titled "Reasons to Persevere".
Sermon Insights:
Without perseverance, we may miss out on the promises that God has for our lives. Just like a diamond in the rough, God's promise may not always be immediately visible or easy to attain. But those who stand firm until the end will receive the ultimate reward and salvation, as stated in Matthew 24:13 NIV. Watch the video attached to hear more from Pastor Stephens on this topic!
