In this message, Pastor Jack draws from observations of autumn’s beauty in New England and his own backyard to explore a profound spiritual truth: the necessity of dying to self in order to experience resurrection life. Using the letter to the church at Smyrna, Pastor Jack teaches that some trials have no way out except through, and that faithful endurance?a willingness to die gracefully to our own will?brings forth the crown of life. He shares a powerful personal testimony of a seven-month spiritual battle to illustrate how God’s purpose in long-term trials produces weight and force of Christ’s life in believers.
