In today’s climate of turmoil and uncertainty, threatening and incapacitating feelings run rampant. Yet the God who created your emotions has also given you everything you need to navigate them. The Bible paints relatable and resonant portraits of women and men struggling with grief, anger, guilt, and despair—and provides divine wisdom for transforming your emotional trials into spiritual triumphs.
Scriptures: Romans 8:1, Revelation 22:12, John 5:22, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:8-15, 4:5, 10:31, Revelation 14:13, Mark 14:8, Luke 12:48
Being tested is a part of every life... from that first quiz in school, to final exams before we graduate, to the great tests that everyday living throws our way. Spiritually we also face a final exam--the Bible talks about a judgment that we will all face before Christ? What will we be judged on, by Whom, and what will the result be for us in the great scheme of eternity. In this message, Dr. Merritt examines the daunting final exam of life--and gives a hope-filled answer for passing it with flying colors.
"Every day you are building a life either of that which will last or that which won’t last. Either your life is being built with permanent materials or perishable materials. Eternal materials or ephemeral materials. Worthy materials or worthless materials. " --Dr. Merritt
