Whatever It Takes

Following Jesus isn’t just for the easy, mountaintop moments — it’s a journey that calls for resilience through both joy and hardship. In Acts 17:5–14, Paul faces fierce opposition in Thessalonica, and yet he presses forward, refusing to give up. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 3, we’ll explore how Paul encouraged the young church to stand strong in the face of suffering.

This message reminds us that we are all destined to face trials, all tempted to give up, and all desperately in need of encouragement and prayer. God calls us to a faith that endures whatever it takes — not because we’re strong on our own, but because He strengthens us to keep going.
