Kingdom Culture Part 3
Episode 414
Wednesday, 9 April, 2025

Struggling with life’s challenges? We all do. But today we're discovering how hardships shouldn't surprise us — even as God's Kingdom people! We're diving into Acts 14, where Paul reveals a surprising truth: “We must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.” Far from a setback, hardship is the doorway to a vibrant faith and God’s unshakable culture. You’ll learn: • Why trials are the path to spiritual maturity • How Jesus walks with you through every storm • Practical steps to prepare for life’s battles Bonus! Here are some movies about historical figures — followers of Jesus — who went through incredible hardship in order to establish God's Kingdom.
