Thorns & Thistles Week 3 Bilingual

This message teaches that faith is not the goal of the Christian life, but the means by which we come to know God, and that He grows our faith through promise, process, and pruning. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the witnesses of Hebrews 11, it shows that God uses trials, delays, and discipline not to abandon His people, but to strengthen endurance, deepen trust, and shape them into Christ’s likeness.

Through the examples of Abraham, Moses, and David, the message reveals that God’s promises are often fulfilled through testing, and that pruning—though painful—is part of His loving work of removing what hinders spiritual growth. Ultimately, it calls believers to fix their eyes on Jesus, trusting that even hardship is being used by God to produce holiness, fruitfulness, and the fulfillment of His promises.
