The gospel has always been preached in the context of adversity and cultural opposition. No matter what is happening in the world around us, there is good news for those who follow Jesus. This season has been one of challenge and hardship. It is in these times that we need to rediscover that the hope for this world is found in Jesus. That means we have a mission...that the one who was sent by God to save the world is now sending us to tell others of his great love.
