Summary
Following Jesus comes with adversity, but as we persevere, it will lead to eternal rewards. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the cost of sharing our faith. Not everyone will accept Jesus or honor Him—some will ridicule us for our faith. But our assignment is to take the hope and truth we know to the people around us, every place we go. The apostles were willing to follow Jesus, even to the point of death. Consider Paul, who pushed against opposition, adversity, and imprisonment to share the gospel. His perseverance changed the world. Are we willing to live our lives with a similar determination?

| 1:07.0 | We've been working through this series on Let's Do Difficult. I will stop it eventually I promise but I understand it's a bit |
| 1:16.4 | of a recalibration a bit of a refocus. We prefer easy all of us do. If I have a choice between something being easy and I choose easy. |
| 1:25.0 | But my suggestion to you in the context of our spiritual lives and development and the |
| 1:30.1 | season in which we're living is we did easy yesterday. |
| 1:34.2 | What's in front of us is going to require a determination to do the difficult. |
