Theme: Models of courage to inspire His Church

---

We learn from other believers who have overcome struggles, this can inspire us to be bold in the face of our own trials. However, Jesus’ response to the prospect of His death on the cross is our greatest model of courage. He understood fear but he accepted the troubles ahead because he knew he was accomplishing God’s plan for him. Courage does not always mean fearlessness. Courage is stepping out in faith despite our fear and trusting God to fulfil his plan for us as we faithfully trust and follow him.
