Struggling with life’s challenges? We all do. But today we’re discovering how hardships shouldn’t surprise us — even as God’s Kingdom people! We’re diving into Acts 14, where Paul reveals a surprising truth: “We must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.” Far from a setback, hardship is the doorway to a vibrant faith and God’s unshakable culture.
You’ll learn:
• Why trials are the path to spiritual maturity
• How Jesus walks with you through every storm
