First Baptist Church, Lagrange, Georgia

In times of turmoil and uncertainty, finding peace can feel like an insurmountable task. This message delves into the powerful stories behind two timeless hymns, 'I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day' and 'It Is Well with My Soul.' Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the former during a period of deep despair, while Horatio Spafford penned the latter after experiencing unimaginable loss. Both hymns serve as poignant reminders of God's enduring presence and the peace that surpasses all understanding. The Apostle Paul provides a 'prescription for a tough faith' in 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, offering five imperatives: be alert, stand firm in faith, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love. As we enter a new year, let us resolve to cultivate a tough faith that can withstand life's storms, trusting in God's guidance and strength.
