There is a cost to endure. We will suffer in this life and it does look overwhelming, but we have the ability to endure through the power and love of Jesus. It’s important to remember to seek first the Kingdom of God. Keeping our eyes on Jesus will build our faith and help us endure.
Keeping a Kingdom/Eternal mindset will help us not to get in the weeds of the issues of this world, but to be more influenced by the Word of God instead of the opinions of Man. The fruits of the Spirit are not dependent on what is going on around us. The fruits of the Spirit only come by true relationship with God. The spiritual disciplines are crucial in this hour. These disciplines are practices of staying close to God and we cannot afford to back out or be apathetic about our relationship with God. Pastor Duane speaks passionately about seeking first the Kingdom of God and the cost of endurance.
