What does that kind of faith look like when suffering comes? The answer leads us toward one of the most important lessons a Christian can learn: contentment.

Faith is meant to grow—but growth often comes through the challenges we would rather avoid. Moses could have allowed his limitations to keep him from faithful service, but instead, he faced the challenge and placed his confidence in the Lord. Christians today have that same assurance: God will not leave or forsake His people.

Lies are everywhere, but where did they begin? Jesus described the devil as a murderer, a liar, and the father of lies because he “abode not in truth” (John 8:44). Evil did not originate with God, and the consequences of rejecting truth are eternal. In this episode of One Gospel Minute, discover why the choice between truth and lies is more than a matter of words—it is a matter of where we will spend eternity.

Many commissions have been given throughout history, but only one is the Great Commission. Before returning to heaven, Jesus entrusted His followers with a mission that would outlast kingdoms, cross every border, and offer salvation to every soul. Given by the risen Christ and founded upon His authority, the Great Commission continues to call Christians to proclaim the gospel to the world. Why is it truly great? Because of the Savior who gave it, the salvation it offers, and the eternal hope it proclaims.
