Persevering Together
from Stones River Church | Murfreesboro, TN · host Dean Dunning
Dean Dunning shares a story from a childhood deer hunting trip in the Michigan woods that left him paralyzed by the fear of an imagined threat. Drawing parallels to our spiritual journey, Dean explores the foundational message of Romans 5. He discusses how being justified through faith allows us to experience peace with God and find purpose in our trials. Rather than being overcome by hardship, we are invited to "rejoice in our sufferings" because of the spiritual chain reaction they produce: suffering builds perseverance, perseverance develops character, and character fuels a hope that never disappoints.
