Building Bonds Between Elders and Ministers (Part 1)

Christian Encouragement in Trouble

Christian encouragement in trouble begins by remembering that Jesus told his followers trouble would come, but he also promised victory over the world. Mark A. Taylor reflects on the brokenness found in churches, ministries, workplaces, and relationships—and points readers toward eternal hope.

• Brokenness in organizations and relationships should not surprise followers of Jesus.
• Jesus warned that trouble would come, but he also promised victory over the world.
• Christians can take heart because this life is only an overture to eternity with God.
