The faith that perseveres

Summary

In uncertain times, what does it mean to persevere in faith? This message starts from Psalm 121 to look at hope as a practice: taking the next step, together, even when the way is not clear.

Three ideas run through the message: faith is not the absence of doubt; perseverance is showing up, day after day; and nobody perseveres alone.

Key points

• Perseverance begins with a small, repeated gesture.
• The community holds us when our strength runs out.
• Practical hope is asking for help early and giving thanks for what already exists.
