Persecuted But Not Forsaken: Growing Up Spiritually Like the Apostle Paul

Being born again is only the beginning, and God is looking for mature Christians who can stand firm when pressure and persecution come. Using Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 4, the message shows how he called his beatings and threats “light afflictions” because he lived from his inward man with eternity in view. The pastor also shares his own story of being pushed out of his denomination for speaking in tongues, and what God built after he refused to stay silent.
