The Bible states that we will not tempted beyond what we can handle (1 Corinthians 10:13), but a lot of people take this as God promises we will never face challenges that are beyond our ability or perseverance.  Christ said the opposite, He said we will face persecution and a lot of it (John 15 & 16).  In fact, the point of these trials we face in life is to lean on God rather than facing them alone (Proverbs 3:5-6).  Pastor Brians shares the freeing message this week of God’s easy yoke.
