Facing Opposition

Beloved in the Lord Jesus:
The world envies the church. They may hide it, but they envy.

They can't stand the fact that you are calm in the midst of upheaval, that though you may have less, but you have peace, and that your children are happy, though they don't live like the world and have what the world has.

That envy moves them to hurt you. Make no mistake about that.

(Ask Charlie Kirk about that!)

This opposition was what Isaac and his family faced in Gerar. But when faced with opposition, they had a choice to make.

See the choice they made and how it worked out for them.

Our headings are:

1. Prosperity in a Barren Land
2. Problems in a Barren Land
3. Promises in a Barren Land

Our goals are:
That you will use the gifts God gives to you to persist in the work he has given to you, so glory will go up to the Savior.
