Fruitful Frustration Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021

It Never Crossed His Mind Again

Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Jul 15, 2024

Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND AGAIN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 INTRODUCTION: We are told to “consider” Jesus, Who “endured the cross” and despised “the shame.” He endured the shame because of, “the joy that was set before Him.” He is the beginner and finisher of our faith.
