Enduring Hardship for the Gospel
September 6, 2026 Rarely does a sermon cut straight to the heart of why so many Christians feel spiritually stuck, but this message from Acts 14 does exactly that. Larry opens with a challenge that lands hard: believers are called to a "go and tell" approach, not a comfortable "come and see" mentality. It's a direct, uncomfortable distinction that reframes what faithful Christian living actually looks like. Larry argues that America has become the world's greatest mission field, drawing missionaries from other nations because of how deeply secularization has taken root. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:7-11, the message explores the very real persecution Christians face when obeying God sincerely and wholeheartedly. What does it mean to cast your cares on God when the hardship you're carrying comes directly from following Him? Larry offers a thoughtful distinction between ordinary worldly worries and the unique spiritual burdens that arise from committed discipleship. (It's a distinction most of us have honestly never considered.)
