—Ready to Lead?— We’re being forced to face difficult topics and situations in culture, and that will continue. But let’s determine to do the difficult things anyway, completing our God-given assignments with diligence. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can persevere in hardship by remembering what God has done for us and promises to do for us. We’re prepared to overcome when we continually remind ourselves of moments of God’s deliverance in the past, and our hope will flourish when we look to the future—to Jesus’ triumphant return. However, Pastor Allen emphasizes we still have a mission on Earth to overcome evil, and developing a character ready to lead will help us accomplish God’s purposes. We have a responsibility to the generations ahead of us, so let’s be prepared to defeat deception, fear, and failure through the power of God in our lives.
