Contend
Jude 1:3 says, “Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.”
The one thing that Jude wishes to tell his brothers and sisters is that they should contend in their faith. To contend means to struggle through hardship. And if the last year has taught us anything, it is that this world is full of hardships.
So what does it look like to live our Christian life amidst these struggles?
How are we called to contend with our faith this year?
How are we called to contend with our faith this year?
At Contend, we will remind ourselves of the truth that God has entrusted us with. And then we will look at practical ways we can be living out of that truth in the midst of these hardships. Through this, it is our hope that you will walk away feeling ready to contend not only with our present circumstances, but with all the struggles you will experience in this world.

“The gospel is bearing fruit and growing”
The Apostle Paul wrote these words to the Colossian believers in the first century, and the gospel has continued to grow today!
Join Chris Barrett, the National Director of The Navigators of Canada, as he leads this Discipleship Lab event on what it can look like to encounter Jesus together with curious friends.
