    We're diving into the final instalment of our series on Asaph, reflecting on how God turned his life around amid a crisis of faith.

    In this episode, Pastor Colin explores the journey of Asaph, illustrating the steps of a five-point turn: stop, think, confess, believe, and finally, commit. It's a remarkable journey that shows commitment is the natural outflow of faith and God's grace, rather than the other way around.

    As we conclude this series, Pastor Colin reminds us that faith is a precious gift from God, not something that results from our personal effort or commitment. Through the story of Asaph, we're encouraged to find hope and assurance in God's sustaining grace, especially when we're at the end of our own strength.

    For those who may relate to Asaph's struggle, be encouraged that God holds you by your right hand, guiding you with counsel and leading you to glory. This message is a gentle reminder that commitment flows naturally from experiencing God's grace and faithfulness.
