Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons by Pastor Tim Travis (Page 36)
As we sing the timeless hymn “Who is on the Lord’s Side” we’re reminded of the journey of the Israelites in Exodus 14:13-15:1. Facing a sea on one side and a vast army on the other, they had a choice – Trust God and journey to the other side of the sea or return to…
Without a mother, none of us would be here. But a Mother’s ministry doesn’t end at birth, but carries on for a lifetime. As we consider Moses’ mother in Exodus 2:2-10 and the impact she had in the life of so many, let’s take time to thank the mother’s in our lives and to encourage…
James puts it rather bluntly in James 4:1-10 – when we can’t dwell in unity, wars are usually the outcome. Whether we’re at war with one another, ourselves, or God, it’s never a good thing. How then can we end wars? You’ll want to watch or listen to this sermon!
The Israelites had a choice presented to them in Exodus 14:9-20 when they faced the Red Sea – Trust God or trust man. God never gives up on us, He is always working to grow and mature His children. Sometimes more faith is needed, but in the end, what side of the sea are you…
The Bible is clear – there are two types of wisdom, that which comes from God, and all else. As we consider James 3:13-18 we are reminded of this stark contrast and our need to daily ask God for wisdom.
When we consider the life of Paul we often think of his faithfulness to the cause of Christ. In Acts 18:7-11 we get a glimpse of this faithfulness as he stays and does the work required to strengthen the ministry. What about us? Will we strengthen our missionaries, our pastors, our church members, our families?…
As we consider missions and the importance of them, we must consider the need for spiritual meat to go forth that others may grow spiritually. This is what Paul challenged the Corinthians to in 1 Corinthians 3:1-8 – that they grow in spiritual matters and become mature!
Why are missions so important to the spreading of the Gospel? Romans 1:18-25 gives us a starting point as we consider that Christ Himself made it clear this was His method for how others would be told the good news!
As the church in Acts began to send out missionaries, we see from Acts 13:1-4 that they did it with a plan from God as He called Saul and Barnabas to go out. Will we support God’s plan for sending the Gospel forth?
As we study Matthew 9:35-38 we see Christ’s heard for the lost as He asks us to pray for laborers to go forth unto the harvest. Let us join together in praying for this great need that still exists today!
