Identity - Perseverance

This lesson in our Identity series focuses on the virtue of perseverance, which Peter identifies in verse 6 of 2 Peter, chapter one.  After defining the term, examples of heros from the Old And New Testaments are discussed in light of their struggles to persevere.  Then, from Acts 18:9-11, 3 reasons to remain steadfast are discussed, as follows: 1) do not be afraid, God is with you, 2) God is present during our times of loneliness, and 3) God gives us a purpose.  The lesson ends with the encouragement to be steadfast and never quit, and with an invitation to respond to the lesson.
