Are You Working Out What God’s Working In You? | The Grace Church with Dr. Andrew Farley

Triumph in Trials - Part 3
Ever feel like life’s a relentless rollercoaster of ups, downs, and loop-de-loops? What if you could approach each twist with a radically fresh mindset?

Imagine God at work within you, shaping your desires and actions to align with His purpose. As Christ’s mindset pulses through you, confidence in His provision and a genuine concern for others start to flow effortlessly - not as obligations, but as natural expressions of who you already are.
Curious about transforming your trials into undeniable triumphs? Click to watch and explore how living from your union with Christ fuels everything you do, lighting up the world with His love through you!
