PERSEVERE

Persevere Christians will face: Earthly struggles (1 Pet. 5:10) Temptation to act in sin (1 Cor. 10:13) Tough times (James 1:2-4) Physically Spiritually

PERSEVERE P - Persist E – Endure the Pain R – Request Help S – Steadfastly Hold to your Faith E – Envision Triumph V – Value Family/Brothers and Sisters in Christ E – Embrace the Challenge R – Refuse to Give up E – Enjoy and Celebrate Every Bit of Progress

Persist Hebrews 12:1-3 Our endurance (persistence) is based on our faith in Jesus Christ and what He did for us.

Job 6:10-14 ; Psalm 73:25-26 Luke 9:23 Endure the pain Carry my cross daily – deny myself (physical vs. Eternal)

Psalm 42:11; Psalm 120:1-4; Psalm 147:2-5 Request help Psalm 42:11; Psalm 120:1-4; Psalm 147:2-5 Job 6:14; 1 Peter 5:6-7; 1 John 5:13-15 Where does our ultimate source of help come from? God? myself? family? friends?

Steadfastly hold to your faith 1 Corinthians 16:13 What Faith? Built on the truth of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:1-11) Working Faith (James 2:14-24) Individual responsibility (Phil. 2:12)

Isaiah 12:1-2; 2 Cor. 4:14 Envision Triumph We know which side wins! Revelation 17:14 Will we be on the winning side?

Value family brothers and sisters in Christ Proverbs 5:15-18; Psalms 127:3-4 Acts 2:44

Embrace the challenge Psalm 42:11; Ephesians 6:10-17 Overcoming the challenges of today are worth the eternal rewards.

Refuse to give up Philippians 4:6-9

Enjoy and celebrate every bit of progress 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18; Philippians 4:4 It is called a “Christian walk” for a reason

PERSEVERE P - Persist E – Endure the Pain R – Request Help S – Steadfastly Hold to your Faith E – Envision Triumph V – Value Family/Brothers and Sisters in Christ E – Embrace the Challenge R – Refuse to Give up E – Enjoy and Celebrate Every Bit of Progress

In conclusion It is a blessing and a privilege to persevere Those that are “in Christ” will be rewarded for perseverance. Ephesians 1:1-14 How do I know if I am “in Christ?” Galatians 3:26-28 v. 27 “ For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ.”
