Perseverance

“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.” (Winston Churchill, 1941 speech to the Harrow School)

I love that quote from Winston Churchill as he stood strong in the middle of World War II. It is inspiring to see strong leadership in times of great challenge. Perseverance is needed when a country is facing tough times, and that is true across all other areas of life as well.

As a pastor, I see on a weekly basis how people are looking for strength—and finding strength in Christ—to persevere. It’s why this past weekend I shared from Hebrews 10 about holding on to the confidence and promise for the future we have in him.

We’re in the middle of a series on “The Bible According to Disney”. This week we saw a clip from the movie UP and then jumped into what God’s Word says about perseverance. It’s a fun summer series – and one that is opening up spiritual conversations in everyday life. We’re encouraging parents/grandparents to have a family movie night each week and use it as an opportunity to discuss faith questions together.

If you are out of the area and can’t join us for worship, feel free to email office@summitcc.org for the discussion questions tied to the movie of the week. Whenever faith and everyday life come together… it’s something we celebrate at Summit!
