Q-When it comes to believing and speaking words of faith in difficult times, what truth does Paul highlight in 4:14 that is the focus of our faith?
Q-What does it mean to “lose heart” in verse 16? Share a time when you were tempted to lose heart?
Q-Why does our faith focus on being renewed in our inner being day by day, along with things “unseen” and things “eternal” help keep us strong under hardship?
