As we continue with our "Try Faith" sermon series, in his sermon "Faith Under Pressure," Pastor Leo examines what faith looks like when life doesn't go according to plan. Using Hebrews 11:1 and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Daniel 3, he illustrates how pressure can either break us or prove us—and faith determines which outcome we experience. The three Jewish men demonstrated remarkable faith through their dual declaration: first, their confidence that God could save them, and second, their commitment to remain faithful "even if He doesn't."Pastor Leo shares his personal journey through divorce, revealing how the truth that "God is good even when my circumstances are not" anchored him through his darkest moments. He emphasizes that we don't face life's furnaces alone—God is present in our trials, and we're supported by community. As Jesus promised in John 16:33, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." True faith under pressure doesn't just survive—it stands, stays, and shines, knowing that the God who is able is also the God who is with us.We invite you to connect with us: https://linktr.ee/faithmcrichmondtx
