Jesus endured the pressures of sin, and we can learn from him how to do the same.
Jesus can teach us how to break free from a frustrating, unsatisfying, and rule-dominated experience of Christianity to find a real relationship with God.
Jesus had the resilience to continually going back to God in prayer to face his fears of dying. He did not give up but kept fighting with God to get the faith to move forward.
Jesus and anyone who chooses to live like him will be controversial, and that isn’t a negative thing. Unless we decide to live in a society where everyone believes and thinks the same thing controversies will abound.
How different might you or your church be if courage was taught, encouraged, and expected from everyone in every area of their lives?
