Faith Carries Us Through Every Hardship
Life can grow challenging at times, yet as Christians we remember that Jesus is greater than every hardship. He is victorious over every pain. Never underestimate God's power to deliver us from fear.
Jesus did the same when He was tempted by the devil in the desert. Though He is the Son of God, He met every trial by the authority of Scripture and by prayer.
We should remind ourselves constantly that God is watching over His children. Keep the faith, and let God's word ground you and remind you that you are far stronger than you think.
George Bannoura on Faith and the Christian Community of Bethlehem
George Bannoura, co owner of Bethlehem Handicrafts, was hosted by Ryan Frazier on Business Brief to discuss how the Christian community of Bethlehem has kept its faith through the most difficult times. His words speak to every Christian who has ever felt the weight of uncertainty.
"We could not do it and pass it without our faith. Faith is everything. This is the essence of our life, so without faith we will not make it. Together we will pass through it. As I mentioned before, as a community back home, we've been through a lot of difficult times in history, and the only thing we have that helps us pass through all the difficult times is our faith. Faith is everything."
