We have in the pages of scripture, men and women who Paul, in Romans 12, refers to as a "great cloud of witnesses." Their faithful examples can and should inspire and encourage us in each of our struggle to endure. But we can also find strength to endure in the witness of those with whom we share this struggle today. This message stresses the importance of recognizing and embracing the power of our witness to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ to endure to the end.
