Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons on Christian Maturity (Page 2)
Our need as Christians is to be rooted and built up in Christ. Colossians 3:1-16 shows us our need to be maintaining our roots, maintaining our walk, as we grow and mature in Christ. Friends, time is short, if we’re going to use this life for Christ, today is the day!
As we look at how we, as Christians, are called to be in Christ, we see that our heart is not to be trusted, but the heart of God and the Word of God are to be our truth. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21 remind us of these things and the need to appreciate all that God…
Are we caught up in the affairs of life or the affairs of Christ? Are we taking steps to draw nigh to Christ? In James 4:7-10 we’re exhorted to be close to Christ and seek Him out so that we can enjoy our relationship with our Savior!
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…

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…
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…
In 1 Samuel 16 & 17, we see the account of Saul sinning against God and David’s promotion from Shepherd to giant killer. As God prepared David to be king, we see that He used many events in David’s time as shepherd to prepare him for the encounter with the David, by growing his faith…
