This is the fourth and final message of the series "Know What's Coming". The series is part of a 5-month theme called "On Mission With God" that ends with this message. In this 4-part series, we'll see that when we respond to the calling of God--even though we know He'll provide all we need, and we've set our priorities to line up with the call--there will be trouble. In the message "Hope", we'll see that even through our afflictions, God is growing us into Christ-like character. Ultimately, our afflictions and persecutions produce hope because of our salvation through Jesus Christ.Michael Linton, PastorFBC Nixon, TXMay 27, 2012
