4. Key issue
How do you keep trusting God when,
1. It’s hard…..seemingly hopeless?
2. It’s mundane…..boring?
3. It’s unclear….whether you’ve seen break through?
Key message
We need a new perspective that Jesus is the true hero of
the story. It’s this bigger view of God which allows us to
trust God more with every area of our lives.
