Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons by Pastor Tim Travis (Page 34)
Part of growing our faith is having our faith tested. Peter talks about this in 1 Peter 1:3-7 and 1 Peter 4:12-13. Whether we look to God during these times and seek the growth or instead turn from Him is a decision we must make.
While the world teaches covetousness and a lack of content, the Bible again and again reminds us to be content. Hebrews 13:5-6 is our focus in this lesson on this important topic!
Faith is something we all have. But faith placed in the right things isn’t guaranteed. As a believer, our faith must be placed in Christ for salvation, and our faith show be growing as we see God at work. Peter gives us a clear list in 2 Peter 1:3-11 of how our faith must then…
John writes to us in 1 John 2:15-29 about our need to not love the things of this world but to get our focus to the things that matter eternally. Are we willing to sacrifice a little to gain it all as we do the will of the Father?
A lack of faith can cause us to sink in the world around us. Yet if we will call out, Lord, Save Me, He will answer. Matthew 14:23-33 provides this great example of our need to keep our faith placed in our Savior as we go through life each day.
In 1 John 2:7-17 John exhorts us to remember what life is all about: loving God and loving others. On this hangs the whole of Christendom. Are we showing the love of Christ to those around us today?
As we walk with Christ, we each have a part to make sure we’re doing. When we examine Psalm 128 it is evident that part of that is doing our part in the family we’re a part of. Whether we’re a father, mother, husband, wife, uncle, aunt, son, daughter, brother, sister – we each have…
Faith. We all place it somewhere in something or someone. Jesus, in Mark 11:20-26, reminds us that our faith should be in God. Where’s your faith?
John cuts right to it in 1 john 1:5-2:6 – our great enemy is sin. God wants us to enjoy life, to have joy, fellowship, love, but so often we defy God and try to live our own way.
We all have a part to play in the local church and how we fill our role as part of the body. 1 Corinthians 3:5-11 reminds us of the need to be laborers with God, to rely upon Him, and to do our part.
