    Sometimes it seems that the time it takes to get our prayers answered is much longer than we anticipated. So we begin to faint in our minds. This message is about not giving up when you are not seeing the results.

    Please turn to Mark 4. Smith Wigglesworth was asked how is it that you walk in so much faith? So the three verses we’re going to read in Mark 4 was his response to anyone who asked him that question. Mark 4:26-28 is a continuation of Jesus’ teaching about the sower who sows the word.

    Second in the series "Meet the Cast." To really understand how to overcome despair in times of failure, we must see the transformation in Peter’s life after Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead.
