21. Ordinary Believers

Nobody likes persecution. However, when it comes to our faith we are told we will face persecution.  Consider a diamond.  Unless carbon is acted upon by heat and pressure, a diamond will not form.  Once it is transformed, however, it becomes a cherished possession.  The same is true with genuine faith. We must understand that persecution helps shape us to become more Christlike.  May Oakwood be a church that looks like Christ to a lost and dying generation.

Due to technical difficulties, there is no visual, only audio for this week.
