Is your faith being tested? 🙏

Dive into the CityRise Sermon Conversations Podcast as our teaching pastors discuss Moses' crisis of belief at the burning bush in Exodus 4. This week, we're picking up where Moses says, "Lord, send someone else" (Exodus 4:13), moving past his excuses to a moment of decision: a crisis of belief.


Key Discussion Points:

Anticipatory Anxiety: The shift from the paralyzing question of 'What If' to the faith-fueled commitment of 'Even If' in our walk with God.


The Power of Persistence: Exploring the immutability of God's plans and how "I AM WHO I AM" means "I'm the one who doesn't go away."


Facing the Crisis: A deep dive into the two choices we face in a crisis of belief: trust Him or turn away.


Biblical Examples: Examining different types of crises of faith—from calling (Gideon, Jonah) and suffering (Job) to isolation (Elijah) and persecution (Peter, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego).


Pastors' Personal Struggles: Our leaders share vulnerable, powerful stories of their own major crises of belief in life and ministry, including moments of failure, waiting, and confusion.


The greatest question isn't 'Can I keep going?' but 'Will I keep walking with Him by faith?'

Join the conversation and learn how to take the next step when God's persistence meets your struggle.

Scripture Focus: Exodus 4:10-14 and related passages.
