Faith isn’t proven by how we start—it’s revealed by how we finish. In this message, John Gunter continues our series Marks of a True Disciple with a deep dive into what it means to persevere in faith. Drawing from James 1, Romans 5, and Hebrews 12, we explore the spiritual grit that sustains us through trials—not just surviving, but being shaped by them.
Whether you’re running strong or feeling stuck, this episode reminds you: you are not alone, and the Holy Spirit is forming something powerful in you.

What does obedience really look like in the life of a disciple? In this week’s sermon, John Gunter explores the tension between religious activity and heartfelt submission to Jesus. With clarity and conviction, he walks through Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 to show that true discipleship isn’t measured by appearances or spiritual resumes, but by a life built on trust, surrender, and daily obedience. If you've ever struggled with the idea of obedience feeling like legalism, this message offers a fresh, grace-filled perspective.
