INTRODUCING THE LESSON
Trouble is not something churches should see as out of the ordinary. As will be observed in this lesson, even the Early Church faced trials from deceptive practices within their ranks to persecution from outside entities. Knowing that God preserves and protects His people, Christians can avoid discouragement when challenges arise. At the end of this lesson, we will recognise challenges churches can encounter as they fulfil the Great Commission and we also learn to avoid discouragement when challenges arise, knowing God preserves and protects His people.
