Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons by Pastor Tim Travis (Page 47)
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…
In John 15:1-16 we find a familiar passage that reminds us that Christ is the vine, we are the branches. Yet how often do we neglect our source of strength and nutrition and try to go out on our own? We must be connected to this true vine if we hope to bear fruit and…
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…
My best wants to rely on my self and those around me, yet God wants better when He can show the world who He is in impossible situations. Gideon faced a similar lesson in Judges 7:1-8 where God had to teach him to rely upon the power of God to win the victory. What crutch…
No one person can do all that Christ has called the Christian to do on their own. 1 Corinthians 12:8-21 clearly shows us that the body of Christ is made up of many necessary parts, skills, abilities. Without each one of us doing our part, the local church can not succeed, the Christian cannot succeed,…
As a Christian, we might sometimes wonder if it’s all worth it, why bother, why go to church and be faithful in tithing. Yet when Christ asked the disciples this in John 6:67-71, the answer is clear to all of us – Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Satan wants us to think highly of ourselves, yet God makes it clear that without Him we can do very little. In Judges 6 we see how Gideon had to rely upon the power of God and trust Him, beginning with his relationship with God. What about you friend, how’s your relationship with God today?…
