Jesus said, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” (Matthew 5:44)
That’s not soft Christianity. That’s the hard Gospel.
In this message, Pastor Jonnathan unpacks what it really means to follow Jesus when life gets hard—when persecution, rejection, backstabbing, sickness, loss, or trials hit. Your response will either reveal the love and power of Christ to a watching world… or deny Him.
You’ll discover:
- Why tribulation is inevitable for believers (John 16:33) and how God uses it to strengthen, prune, and perfect your faith
- The true meaning of “delight yourself in the Lord” (Psalm 37:4)—it’s not about getting whatever you want, but becoming soft, pliable clay in the Potter’s hands
- How to stop treating God like a genie and start petitioning for His will with a yielded heart
- Why free will is one of the greatest honors God gives His bride—and how real love chooses Him even when it’s costly
- Practical wisdom for studying Scripture in a Spirit-led way so revelation actually transforms your life
This is the Gospel that doesn’t just save you—it shapes you into the image of Jesus, one hard commandment at a time.
If you’re walking through something difficult right now, this word is for you. Be of good cheer—He has overcome the world.

![Faithful Stewardship
Luke 16:10-13 NASB
“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. [11] Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? [12] And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? [13] No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
Matthew 6:19-21 NASB
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. [20] But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; [21] for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Faithful Stewardship](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Pv3p4Pnl0fc/mqdefault.jpg)
