Persevering Under Pressure

The 2014 movie, "Unbroken," tells the true story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner who served as a World War II pilot. His plan crashed in the ocean, where he survived on a raft and was eventually captured by the Japanese. He was tortured in a Japanese prisoner of war camp until the end of the war. The movie tells the story of his perseverance through hardships. In Acts 14, we read another heroic story of perseverance as Paul and Barnabas take the good news of Jesus to the region of Galatia. We learn the importance of not giving up. It is as we persevere through hard times that God accomplishes his work through us.
