Sermons on Living for Jesus (Page 7)
As churches that follow Christ, we must heed the warnings of Scripture. 1 Thessalonians 5 contains many reminders of the need for us to be vigilant and wary as the last days draw ever nearer, while we watch for the return of Christ.
The need to remember that we are being watched is ever before us. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 reminds us that we’re to do all things to please God and to grow in Him as we walk through this life abstaining from the things that are not of God. Friend, will you strive to please God or…
When we consider a good soldier, we often consider the hardened, battle worn soldier who stood strong in battle and endured until the end as he relied upon his training to get him through. Likewise, in 2 Timothy 2:1-4, we are reminded of the need for us to be good soldiers for Christ, willing to…
In 1 Thessalonians 1:6-10 Paul exhorts the church of Thessalonica for being an ensample to the other churches. What about us today? Are we being a picture of what we’re to be to those within and without our church? Let us join together as we stand firm on the Word of God, unwavering and faithful…
As we continue our study on being a disciple of Christ, we see through Luke 9:23-24 that a disciple is to be set apart. Disciples must be surrendered to Christ and allowing Him to control their lives as a living sacrifice.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 describes to us the last of 5 crowns we can obtain as Christians – the Incorruptible Crown for mastery of the flesh.

What does it mean to be a true disciple of Christ? In Matthew 11:28-30, we learn that it means that we’re yoked with Christ – fully surrendered, yielding to His will, ready to go wherever He leads us, to rest our soul with Him. Won’t you be a disciple of Christ?
The Bible tells us of different crowns we can win as Christians. In James 1:12, we see the crown of life, given to those that love God. So often we spend time caring for our homes, job, etc – but are we also taking the time to ensure we’re winning the crowns that will last…
Persecution is going to come in the Christian’s life who is living for Jesus Christ. It is important for us to remember the context of Matthew 5:10-12, however, realizing that it’s when we’re living for Jesus that we’ll be blessed for it! Are you facing persecution for Christ’s sake today? Then take heart in knowing…
Christ made it clear when He died for the church that it is an essential part of our lives! As stated in Matthew 16:18-20, the church is built upon Christ and we are to be busy about Kingdom work, no matter what is going on in the world around us.
