Taking Heart While Having Trouble

Taking Heart While Having Trouble

Our lives are full of troubles, but we need not despair. Jesus is our model, our mentor, and our victor. Troubles confuse, scatter, and isolate us, but Jesus maintained clarity, commitment, and companionship with the Father. Jesus has also given us his promises, assistance, and instructions to live well through our troubles. Best of all, through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus is the victor over all of our troubles. The world threatens to overcome us, but Jesus has overcome the world! Text: John 15:18-27; 16:1-4, 32-33
