True Grit
Manage episode 444313553 series 1300734
In this message, Duane Sheriff explores how biblical figures like Noah, Abraham, and Moses exemplified "True Grit" amidst trials and hardships. Grit is defined as perseverance, endurance, and steadfastness of character. These same qualities are essential for believers today.
James 1:2-4 reminds us to "count it all joy" when facing trials, knowing that testing our faith produces perseverance. It is not the trials that perfect us, but our response of submitting to God and resisting the devil.
According to Romans 5:3-5, tribulations produce perseverance, character, and hope. Developing true grit involves opposing evil and maintaining faith rather than passively accepting adversity. It's about standing up against adversity, not just accepting it.
Using "vivid" imagery and examples of how to be bold in our faith, Duane references the movie "True Grit" and John Wayne's character. He illustrates how spiritual warfare is like charging into a physical battle with determination and courage.
Take a stand against corruption, immorality, and injustice by participating in your community, school, and government. Rely on God's strength with true grit. Your courage will inspire others to do the same.
