Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons on Living for Jesus (Page 6)
Temptation – we find it so easily. Yet God uses some of it to try us and refine us – how do we know the difference? James 1:1-15 gives us a good starting place as we learn to grow closer to God and study His Word! (Higher quality audio is available on the audio only…
Are we walking in the Spirit or do we tend to depend on self? In Galatians 5:13-17, we’re reminded of the importance of depending on God and walking in the Spirit so that we can do the work of God and not that of the flesh. Friends, as followers of Christ we must daily learn…
Have you considered what you’re called to be as a follower of Jesus Christ? 1 Peter 2:1-10 reminds us that we are a peculiar people, a people that have been purchased by our Savior. Are we therefore to sit idly by or are we not called to serve Him?
Do we have righteous judgment? We must be careful with our prejudice. We must turn our heart to Jesus and reach the world with God’s gospel message. John 7:1-5 is but one of many examples of how Christ himself was judged by the world and how the world judges His followers today – will we…
What do we spend our time thinking about? Are we more concerned with the things of Earth or the things of Heaven? Paul continues to challenge the Philippians 4:1-23 to press toward the mark – what about us today? Will we press toward the mark?

As a nation, we no longer claim to be under God, but more that we’re done, or over, with God. In Isaiah 59:1-4 we see how God dealt with Israel when they went away from God. What will be our legacy? Will we recognize that the only way to succeed is when we’re under God?
Reading Matthew 4:1-11 gives us insight, as followers of Christ, on how we should follow Christ’s example in dealing with temptation in our lives. Satan continues to use the same tactics today – will we learn from the example of Christ and keep the Word of God ever in our minds?
We each face the temptation to sin – usually on a daily or hourly basis. How did Christ deal with His adversary in this? Matthew 4:1-11 is provided to us as an example of our need to be in the Word of God and in prayer to rely upon God.
As a follower of Christ, did you know you have sanctification? 2 Thessalonians 2:12-17 talks about the blessing that sanctification is to the believer.
