How to Thrive in a Crisis of Faith

We do not like to be challenged in our faith. (The Problem)

If we embrace the testing God brings, he will not only bring us through but give us a legacy of faith. (The Correction)
a. Faith embraces the test knowing that God can reverse even the worst outcome.
b. Faith embraces the test accepting God's gracious mercy protecting from the worst.
c. Faith preserves what is promised even when everything else goes wrong. (Genesis 27:27-40)
d. Faith brings us to the end of our testing with a fuller understanding of God's purpose. (Genesis 48:5-22)

We MUST accept God's testing of our faith with an eye toward those who will come after. (The Follow-Through)
