W: 8/30/20 – TCK2: “Labor Pains”

Application Key Word: STRENGTH

Big Idea: Christians must be strong in faith if we hope to make it to the end. Like a mom going through labor pains but somehow finds the strength to endure, so the Church must be strong as Christ gives birth to a new world.

“All these events are the beginning of labor pains” (Matthew 24:8 CSB).
