The message of the cross
(1Co.1:18)

Introduction: Do you know who planned, progressed, and accomplished Exodus? It is God. Nobody can stop his work. Problems are not the reason why lay people fail. The unfaith that makes people disbelieve God is the very reason of their failures even though He is still working on us. When we come to realize how perfect Gods plan is, belief will sprout from us, which will teach us perseverance.
