You Can't Borrow Someone Else's Character | The Gospel of Matthew

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of having genuine internal character during crises and not relying on others' strength.

Have you ever realized that when a crisis hits, you can't borrow someone else's strength to get you through? In this video, we break down an ancient story about ten people who thought they were ready for a life-changing moment until the lights went out and exposed who was actually running on empty. Eventually, the difficult seasons of life will reveal whether you have built genuine internal character or if you are just faking it. It's time to stop going through the motions and start living with real urgency today. -- Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/ Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribe Download the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/ If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!
