Courage, Faith, and Grit

In this message from Matthew 7, we explore Jesus’ invitation to a deeper kind of faith—one marked by courage, honesty, and perseverance.

Jesus tells us to ask, seek, and knock, but what does that really look like in everyday life?

Through powerful stories like blind Bartimaeus and the persistent widow, we see that faith isn’t passive. It’s honest prayer, active pursuit, and perseverance that refuses to give up.

In this sermon, we talk about:

• Why we often stop ourselves from asking God
• What it means to put “feet on our prayers”
• How persistence shapes a gritty, resilient faith

God isn’t distant or uninterested in your life.
He invites you to bring your needs honestly and trust that He is ready to respond.
