Luke 21:5-19; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 | Amidst challenges, and especially when we can’t see the end of the road (let alone the road itself sometimes!) it can be difficult to endure…to keep going. Often, endurance is cracked up to something that we need to do. To that end, a common image may be “white-knuckling” our way through a situation. But what if endurance wasn’t solely up to us and our ability? As we consider what is asked of us by Jesus to “endure,” join us this weekend as we hear again God’s promised faithfulness to us, and as we are given what we need to not grow weary in doing what is right.
