Jubilee 2024

What is Grit?

August 2, 2024 • Duane Sheriff • Hebrews 12:26–29, Psalm 1:1–3, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Duane recaps each speaker's message during the week of Jubilee. He intricately weaves the week's themes with creative humor and anecdotes as he discerns what God is saying through other speakers. 


This year, Duane heard "Grit." In the dictionary, 'grit' means having firmness of character and an indomitable spirit, which believers must embody to succeed in the 'third great awakening.  Acting with grit will be essential for standing against forthcoming challenges and being a light in the world. Grit will be the key to taking risks, like praying for others, standing firm in faith, and overcoming life's obstacles. 


Duane challenges everyone to embrace true grit, charging forward in faith to positively impact the world, like the examples of true grit in the Bible and history. Believers are encouraged to stand firm in their identity, rooted in God's truth, and seek a personal relationship with God through prayer and scripture.
