When the pressure is on and emotions are high, we each have a choice in how we respond. In “Living In The Tension,” Pastor Robert Madu teaches on the art of empathy and reveals the necessity of living in both grace and truth — regardless of circumstances. Pastor Robert addresses this challenge by taking a look at a scene in the Gospel of John. When a crowd of onlookers wanted to stone a woman, Jesus showed empathy, saw beyond her sin, and offered her grace. God knows what you’ve done, knows what you’re going through, and still has grace for you. You don’t have to live in shame. He came so you can live in freedom — and offer it to others in turn.

Having the faith to start is one thing, but having the faith to stay and stick it out is another. We live in a culture that celebrates starting, but throughout the Bible, it’s evident that God rewards those that have the faith to finish. From Acts 27 verse 13-44, Pastor Steven preaches about the importance of having staying power in the storm. God promised us He would never leave us or forsake us, so rather than jumping to other things to try to alleviate our pain, we’re instructed to stay faithful to Him in seasons of struggle. Most of us have probably viewed doubt as something that prevents faith, but with this perspective shifting message, you’ll learn to see doubt as fuel for your faith. And today, we all need faith to stay encouraged… to stay optimistic… to stay patiently expectant even through disappointment. It’s not what you go through that determines where you end up, it’s who you listen to. So as you listen to the voice of God through this sermon, we pray you’ll find staying power through whatever storm you may be weathering.
