Keeping
the Faith
Continue to believe in, trust, or support someone or something when it is difficult to do so.
​
For many, keeping the faith means to stay strong in the midst of persecution or temptation. It suggests trying and working hard. It means smiling in the face of suffering, professing Christ in the face of opposition, and believing in times of doubt. But it focuses on what we believe and what we do. Doctrine and works.
​
Jesus is God’s grace for our hearts. He is our hope and promise. He is our provider and deliverer and protector. Mercy and peace and joy come out of our relationship with Jesus.
Keep your eyes on Him, and you will keep the faith
Spiritual
Community
A group of individuals who come together for mutual support, shared beliefs, and spiritual growth.
It provides a sense of belonging and a framework for navigating life through shared values and practices, which can be both formal (like a church) or informal (like a meditation group).
​
Members provide encouragement and support for one another through shared joys and challenges.
​
These communities often foster a space where members can be open and vulnerable, leading to deeper, more authentic relationships.
