Courage in the Face of Opposition

Sep 14, 2025    Tim Cole

God has equipped believers with divine power to stand firm in their faith despite opposition. This power, described as 'dynamite' (dunamos in Greek), enables Christians to be bold rather than timid. The story of the man born blind in John 9 illustrates five key lessons about facing opposition: family may not always support you, others might try to redefine truth, sarcasm rarely helps your cause, mistreatment should be expected, and your personal testimony remains undeniable. The Holy Spirit serves as our Advocate, providing the supernatural courage needed to share our faith with both boldness and gentleness.
