Hebrews

12:1 -3

1

Therefore

, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

2

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and

perfecter

of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart

.

With Jesus as our example, we are

told to persevereSlide8

James

1:2-4

2

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

3

because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

4

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Consider…

Testing develops perseverance…

Perseverance leads to maturity and completenessSlide9

Romans 5:1-5

1

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2

through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

3

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

4

perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us

.

Joy in suffering because it leads to hopeSlide10

James

1:5-8

5

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

6

But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7

That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;

8

he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does

.

Ask

God for wisdom to understand what is going onSlide11

When we begin to find our joy in the Lord,

we

will be able to find joy in all

situations.Slide12
