You have a 'Never Give Up' Character

Romans 5:1-5 & 2 Corinthians 11:23-28
In order to experience victory in every area of your life, you need to develop a 'Never Give Up' character!  Today Pastor Kevin Begley reminded us to rejoice in the TRIALS we experience because they produce ENDURANCE, which means "to bear up courageously, to stand while under pressure."

"Don't Give Up, Bear Up!"

Realize that endurance produces strong CHARACTER, but if you give up, the trials you are experiencing will not produce the strong character required to win the victory!

And finally, to get over that finish line as the First Place Winner, the strong character you have developed through endurance will produce the HOPE required!

CHALLENGE: Thank God for the trials and allow them to produce endurance, strong character & hope in you this week!

Character of a Conqueror

May the Lord Cause you to Increase and Abound in Love
1st Thessalonians 1-13 Key Verses (v.12-13)

• Increase means 'to add to'.
• Abound means 'to overflow'.
• Love means 'to serve with humility'.

We need to love with humility so that, according to the text, we can be blameless. Notice it doesn't say 'sinless'. There is a huge difference between being 'sinless' and being 'blameless'. Being sinless is impossible but being blameless is possible! Blameless means 'intentionally living in obedience to God’s Word' and holiness is 'being separated unto God'.

The good news is that a pure love brings a pure life!
CHALLENGE: Everyday to look for people who you can love (serve with humilty)
