Why Have Faith During Difficult Times? J.D. Greear

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that the purpose of faith is not personal ease but rather to point others to God's power and worth as revealed in the gospel. It uses the gospel as a central reference and encourages believers to leverage all life circumstances, whether positive or negative, such as prosperity or poverty, popularity or shame, and healthy or dysfunctional relationships, as opportunities. The practical takeaway is to constantly ask, "How can I use this to point people to Jesus?"
