Think! Part 2

Thursday, March 26, 2026 • Duration 25:25

Today we delve into the intriguing topic of prosperity and its potential pitfalls. While prosperity is often viewed as a blessing, Pastor Colin reminds us that it can also be slippery ground, especially for those without faith. In this episode, part of the series "I Almost Gave Up," we explore the experiences of Asaph, a godly man who faced despair when observing the prosperity of the wicked. Pastor Colin encourages believers struggling with similar feelings to remember that God's truth and community provide strength and encouragement. We'll also reflect on the ultimate outcomes for both the righteous and the wicked, shifting our perspective and renewing our faith journey. Gather your Bible and turn to Psalm 73 as we journey together through this thought-provoking message.
