In this sermon, Chad Stuart shows that Christians do hard things for one reason: so others may come to salvation in Jesus Christ. Drawing from his own marathon training and the church’s sacrifices to build a school and now a church, he reminds listeners that pain, patience, and perseverance are worthwhile when they serve a bigger eternal purpose. He connects that call to Paul’s willingness to suffer for the gospel and to Caleb and Joshua’s courage in the face of fear, challenging the church to become disciple-makers, not just church-builders. The message matters because it reframes present sacrifices and personal suffering as opportunities for witness, anchored in Jesus’ promise, “I am with you always.”
