Romans 6:6-7 – Set Free from the Slavery of Sin. 2 Corinthians 12:9 – God's Grace is Enough.

When Joab was surrounded by armies with no hope of being saved, he encouraged the armies of Israel that they should be courageous and strong in the battle. In our world today, we too are in a battle, but ours is against the spiritual forces of darkness. We too, must be strong and courageous, receiving divine strength in the presence of the Lord, which we receive on our knees in prayer. Hear America Pray Now Leader, Hanna Alway, share how Christians need the Lord every hour as we fight the spiritual battles, leaving the outcome of the battle in God's hands.

Today's Promise: Galatians 6:9 Sometimes, the road gets rough, and you feel like giving up. Today's promise gives you the courage not to grow weary in doing God's will. There is a universal law of life that says, whatever you plant, you reap. When it comes to the Kingdom of God, when you plant obedience and good works, you receive a harvest of blessings. The harvest comes to those who faithfully plant God's seed every day. Don't stop doing what is right. If you keep sowing the right seed, the harvest will come.

Send me a Text Message!The apostle Paul knew a bit about causing suffering and going through suffering, and 2 Corinthians 4 contains one of his most encouraging words. He begins and ends with the words, "So don't lose heart." I know, in those times when it feels like we're fighting for every breath; looking at the darkness around us, maybe even in us, we might wonder is there any good news? Should I even keep going? Paul says, Yes. Don't lose heart." Because listen something is happening deeper than you can imagine. God's at work shaping a glory in you that will cause all of creation to stand and cheer. He's actually drawing closer than you can fully experience. In the battle, in the mess, in the hard, that's when you start to see his fingerprints all over your life. So don't lose heart! Don't quit. Don't give up. The best is yet to come. Don't lose heart!

Why Must We Not Lose Heart in Prayer : Luke 18:1-8 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 03-09-25 by Park Community Church

2 Corinthians 4

When life feels overwhelming, fixing our eyes on eternal truths gives us the strength to endure.

In this passage, Paul tells us that despite the struggles he goes through in life, the trials, tribulations, false accusations, rejection of the gospel message by most, he does not become discouraged, will not resort to worldly tactics, and will continue to preach the truth of God's word because the fact that most reject his message is not a reflection on himself, but on Satan who has blinded their minds. Secondly, he does this not for himself but for Jesus' glory and to serve the church. And finally, he does what he does out of love and gratitude for what Christ has done for him.

2 Samuel 4-5 New King James Version: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Samuel%204%20-%205&version=NKJV

Even in the midst of life, the demand of people - we can still have more to pour out, like Jesus, not in our own strength, but our source has got to be Jesus. We must reach out in faith, believing, even when it feels like it's been a long time of waiting. In the wait, we must trust that God is working. Know Your Source. Keep the Faith. & Don't Lose Heart. So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. Luke 8:40 The Roads Church https://theroads.church

Hebrews 12:3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Yesterday we drew encouragement from how Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, ran His race in this world as He lived to love with His Father. Today we consider what Jesus endured as He ran the race. To consider something means to take it into account or to reason, think, or analyze.  The author told his readers to consider the hostility that Jesus endured against Himself. Would you think about that with me? What comes to mind? First, a short list of some of the sinners that come to my mind. Let's see. Herod the Great sought to kill Him. The Jews of Nazareth were going to throw Him off a cliff. We know of a few times when the Jews in the temple in Jerusalem planned to stone Him. He called Peter, Satan, for his hostility to His mission. His own brothers pushed Him to move against His Father's timing. Then there was Judas Iscariot, the Pharisees, the Sanhedrin, Pilate, Herod Antipas, and the Roman soldiers. Why should we think about them? So we see that He, like us, has sinners who will cause us suffering in this world. He made it to the end and finished well, and so will we. Second, consider the hostilities He suffered. For almost the entire time of His ministry, Jesus endured hostile questioning, insults, and shaming. He was slapped, beaten with the cat of nine-tails. He was stripped, mocked, had a crown of thorns pounded on his head, nailed to a cross, and was pierced with a spear. Have you suffered like that? Third, let's consider his endurance of such hostility against himself. He had to endure the hostility of the Pharisees his entire season of ministry, from emotional and verbal attacks and slander to physical threats. How can we possibly overlook the endurance of the pain of the crucifixion? Certainly, it ranks at the top of the most inhumane forms of torture in human history. He knows what it takes to endure hostilities and will help you. Why are we to consider these things? The author was encouraging them to endure in faith until the end of their lives regardless of what they suffer in this world as foreigners and exiles. In this verse he was encouraging them to not grow weary and lose their motivation to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus and finish well. We all need such encouragement, don't we? Sometimes our suffering is circumstantial, and other times it comes from the hands of sinners. If you are in the second category of suffering, let this verse spur you on to live to love with Jesus regardless of what you suffer. Fix your eyes on Jesus' heart to finish well, and join Him at the finish line for the glorious celebration and reward.

Weary. That’s how Satya felt after nine months in his new job. As a believer in Jesus, he’d sought to follow God’s principles in the way he solved problems and directed the work. But people-related problems persisted, and little organizational progress seemed to have been made. He felt like throwing in the towel. Perhaps, like Satya, you’re feeling tired. You know the good that you ought to do, but simply feel too emotionally and physically drained to carry on. Take heart. The apostle Paul encourages us with these words: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). He uses the metaphor of a farmer. And, as any farmer knows, sowing is hard work. Sowing to “please the Spirit” (v. 8) is hard work too. Believers in Jesus who seek to follow the Spirit’s lead and live a life that honors Him can grow faint and lose heart. But as we hang on to His promise, the harvest will come. We’ll “reap eternal life” (v. 8; see John 17:3)—a bumper crop of God’s blessing when Christ returns, and in this life, we’ll have the confidence and joy that come from knowing Christ. We’ll reap at the proper time, a time determined not by seasons or the weather but by the will of a perfect God. Until the harvest comes, let’s keep sowing in God’s strength.

Prayer is essential but it can be difficult especially in times of disappointment and suffering. The parable of the persistent widow reveals three ways we can be encouraged to not lose heart and continue to pray. 禱告是必要的，但可能會很困難，特別是在失望和痛苦的時候。堅持不懈的寡婦的比喻說明了三種可以鼓勵我們不要氣餒並繼續禱告的方法

This week, we explored Jesus' parable about the persistent widow found in Luke 18. Jesus teaches us that there is great power available when we are persistent in prayer. Despite all the challenges that could cause us to become weary and burdened, Jesus encourages us that when we draw near to God, we will find the strength we need to not lose heart.

Listen along as we wrap up our final gathering of 2024. Notes//Quotes: 2 Cor 4:7-18 Just as wine cannot keep well in silver or gold vessels, but only in the lowliest of vessels—earthen ones—so words of Torah do not keep well in one who considers himself to be the same as silver or gold vessels, but only in one who considers himself the same as the lowliest of vessels—earthen ones. - Rabbinical Commentary on Torah The Stoic philosopher—and still more the Cynic—prided himself on his indifference to physical and mental suffering, and would often give a recital of what he had been through in order to demonstrate the power of the philosophy to make one able to rise above such purely external and short-term vicissitudes. - David Garland “Epictetus believed that difficulties (peristaseis) “show what men are.” What they endured exhibited their true grit and moral constancy. For Paul hardships do not disclose what humans are made of but what God's power is like” - David Garland “While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life's joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world's sorrows, tasting the coming joy. Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.” - Tim Keller 

When you know Jesus (really know Him) suffering loses its fear factor. We instead come to realize that we have been given a great treasure--one that enables us to endure. Join us for a workshop from 2 Corinthians 4.

Brian Delamont talks with co-hosts Heather and Keane about how God often works through difficult circumstances to transform us: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day” (2 Cor. 4:16). “He's in control, and He is good. He leads us into this opportunity to have difficulties and trials become part of the transformation that He longs for us to experience in order to become all that He intends.” “We've been given this amazing gift of the Holy Spirit, the glory of God in us, to move us towards transformation.” 2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1 “Transformation means difficulty, and difficulty can mean transformation, if we choose to let it work in us the way God intends it to.” Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer “It's not a matter of instant change. There is no experience in the Christian life that will reproduce His image in a moment. It is a process, not a crisis.” “You and I are not fully transformed the moment we decide to act on Jesus' invitation to become His apprentices. It's this ongoing process.” 2 Corinthians 4:6-10 “Spiritual growth and transformation doesn't mean we have fewer and fewer challenges. It means that when the challenges come, when I'm hard pressed, for example, my response is that it's more like Jesus. There's the fruit of the Spirit.” “Am I suffering because I'm doing things that are contrary to God's best design for my life, or am I suffering because I'm doing things that are going to reveal His greater glory?” 2 Corinthians 4:15-18 “In the transformation process we don't run to difficulties, or foolishly seek out persecution or ridicule. This is not the life Jesus modeled for us at all [...] Suffering itself is not the purpose. If that were the case then God would be tremendously cruel.” “God has good outcomes for us in mind: Our transformation through difficulties, our growth in joy, perseverance, character, hope, and in being refined to reveal the glory of God.” 2 Corinthians 3:2-6 “Our sufferings, our difficulties do more  than transform us as individuals. They can transform our friends and our family, our community, as we share and journey through these experiences together.” “It's not instant happiness [...] it's walking with God through these difficult times. And we know the difficulties are actually a given if we follow Jesus.” “In walking through these difficulties that transformation becomes so much more visible. It reveals the genuine power of the gospel in the midst of my difficulties, in the midst of our suffering together. And yet in these challenges, we do not lose heart.” “God is in control. He is sovereign. He sees you, and He is also running the universe in the way He wants it run – in a good way, ultimately, because God is not just sovereign, He is good. And we can rest in that so that we do not lose heart.” Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering by Timothy Keller November Reflection: What do You want to transform in my life right now as I face this difficulty?
