Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons by Pastor Tim Travis (Page 45)
Are you planted? Planted in the Word of God, rooted in the Spirit, drinking from the One Who promised we would never thirst again? Psalm 1 provides us with a great reminder that we must be firmly planted as Christians and as we look around us today, it should be even clearer to each of…
Is your relationship with your Savior nonessential? In Exodus 5:1-7, Pharaoh saw no essential need for the Israelites to go and worship God, yet God provided a way. What about your faith today? Is it an essential part of your everyday life or just something you do? We each need to take time to check…
The message of John 15:1-16 transcends time as we consider the need for the Christian of all ages to bear fruit. Part of that means that we have to allow the Master to prune us from time to time so that we can grow and be as fruitful as God knows we can be.
We all love to talk about freedom and liberty, especially as Americans, but the more restraint we try to remove, the less freedom and liberty we have. When we look at Galatians 5:1,13-15, and other passages, God makes it clear that the most peace, liberty, and freedom will have in this life is when we…
While Luke 15:11-32 may be a familiar passage to many, it’s important that we remember the father represented in the story – our Heavenly Father, who always waits with open arms and will run to greet us when we turn to Him! Friend, our Earthly father will never be perfect, but we have a Father…

We often talk of the faithfulness of God, but what about us? Are we faithful to Him? Psalm 12:1-2 reminds us that even the faithful will fall away if they turn away from God. Today, as there are so many distractions in this world, let us be those that remain faithful in Christ, doing as…
My best is never as good as what God has in mind. That became clear as Gideon was told to go down to only 300 men to fight the Midianites in Judges 7:13-23 – but when Gideon did as God told him to do, he didn’t even have to lift a sword to defeat the…
In John 17 we see the prayer of Christ. As part of that prayer, He prayed for us today, that we would be unified, that we would partner together, that we would hold one another accountable, that we would be available to be used by God. Our responsibility as Christians is to come together to…
When we consider the importance of gathering together as a local Bible believing body, it ultimately must come down to a desire to identify with Christ. Any other reason is lacking. In John 6:66-69 we see that this is the very reason that led the Apostles to stay with Christ – His identity. Do you…
