We are going to be looking at the characters and the circumstances that God used to instill courage in His people. Each week is a different story about how someone overcame impossible odds and what we can learn from it. A few are actually stories of defeat, but they can still be courageous stories if we will learn from them.
The decision to follow Christ is a "crossing over" event. Once you have crossed over, you realize the commitment that you have made.
Now the lesson in courage is to follow through and make permanent changes. You will still celebrate what God had done in the past; but you are moving toward a new future. Eventually you realize that all of your other changes come from your commitment to Christ.
