Diligent

Diligent people are dedicated and thorough, seeing tasks through to completion—they don’t give up and are known for their trustworthiness and strong work ethic. Following Christ requires this same diligence. Join us for Session Three as we follow Joseph's example and explore how to make diligence a foundational element in everything we do. By setting this standard for ourselves, we can pursue a life of godliness that draws others to the Lord.
