When Trials Come: How to Keep Walking by Faith

For many believers, the words of Psalm 23 have been among the final Scriptures spoken over them as they prepared to pass into the presence of the Shepherd Himself. Charles Spurgeon once called it “the pearl of psalms,” and rightly so—its beauty is simple, its truth profound, and its comfort timeless. With that in mind, today we turn our attention to some practical ways we can trust God in seasons of trial.

Step Where God Leads

Because of our fallen nature, trials can stop us in our tracks. But God’s way isn’t retreat—it’s steady, faithful movement, even if it’s slow. Israel built the wall in 52 days, yet the enemy never stopped working against them. And Nehemiah gives us the pattern we need when life presses hard: pray, trust, and take the next step. That’s how we keep moving through the fire.

Remember the Lord

Everyone faces discouragement—whether they walk closely with God or feel far from Him. In Nehemiah 4 we meet a people who were ready to give up on the work God had given them. Their discouragement was real, but through Nehemiah’s leadership they learned to lift their eyes from their troubles and look to the Lord. Together we’ll explore how God helped them move forward in faith.

Living by Faith - Part 2

Living the Christian life is far more than collecting spiritual information or agreeing with biblical truths in our minds; it’s a call to a faith that takes shape in how we speak, act, love, and persevere. James reminds us that genuine faith is never static or theoretical—it moves, it obeys, it serves, and it shows itself in the everyday moments where our trust in Christ becomes visible. Join us as we explore James’s challenge to live out a faith ...

Living by Faith - Part 1

Walking by faith means thanking God for His past blessings, trusting Him through present trials, and waiting confidently for His future promises. Habakkuk lived in a dark and confusing time, yet he discovered a truth that transformed him: “the righteous shall live by his faith.” This realization shifted him from complaining to worshiping, even when every visible circumstance collapsed around him, he still chose to rejoice in the Lord and find joy in the God of his salvation.
