About this episode

The episode discusses the contrast between life's struggles and the hope found in God's promises as illustrated in the books of 1 Samuel and Matthew.

The book of 1 Samuel tells us that 3 things make us want to quit: Sorrow - Other People - Failure. In the book of Matthew, Jesus tells us we are: a light in the dark - a city on a hill - a beacon of hope. The promises of God are more powerful than the struggles of life. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook
