SESSION 1

So many things in our lives are requiring less and less time. High tech advancements have shortened just about every aspect of our lives. Think about it. We can send (hold up phone) and expect for someone to receive a personal text message half way around the world and then that person can respond to us as long as there WIFI. So many things can happen so fast and, nowadays, there is not a lot of patience for things that take a long time, for situations that can’t be fixed quickly, or for results that don’t come on our timetable. In fact, the research says we are bailing out faster, quitting earlier, and giving up sooner than ever before on people, on jobs, on new experiences, or just about anything that inconveniences us or causes discomfort. That’s why we are starting a new series today called The Endurance Series. The Bible says that the man of God is a man who must learn how to endure in his faith. That’s what we are going to cover in Part One this morning with Pastor and Men’s expert Kenny Luck. Maybe you feel like you are ready to give up or maybe know a friend who is on the edge.
