Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons on Serving God (Page 5)
When we consider the life of Paul we often think of his faithfulness to the cause of Christ. In Acts 18:7-11 we get a glimpse of this faithfulness as he stays and does the work required to strengthen the ministry. What about us? Will we strengthen our missionaries, our pastors, our church members, our families?…
There is often uncertainty today over what the truth is. God leaves us with no doubt when it comes to the truth about Him. Galatians 1:6-18 remind us to cling to the truth, to not go after other gospels or teaches that we might fancy, but to cling to the truth of salvation.
2 Timothy 3 warns us of the things we will see in the last days as people turn from God and go their own way. We’ve seen a great decline in Americans have come to depend on their wealth and prosperity instead of their Creator. What about you today? Do you continue to give credit…
Throughout history, God has been looking for faithful people to serve Him. In the book of Esther, we’re reminded how a young lady was able to use her bad circumstances to save God’s people. There are no accidents or coincidences for the Christian – are we ready to serve God where we are today?
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?
In Acts 2:41-47 we read the great account of the early church coming together and many being saved through the unity and steadfastness that was among the believers at the time. When we think about our own lives here in America, we have so much freedom and safety that the persecution they faced is often…
What’s your religion? This question seems simple and we might be tempted to answer, “well, I’m Baptist” or some such thing. Yet the Bible teaches that God isn’t after a denominational affiliation, He’s after a relationship. When we come together to worship, let it be with purity and a true desire to seek after our…
Christ makes it clear in John 15:1-16 – Christians are to bear fruit! There are many different types – love, joy, peace, etc – and winning others to Christ. As we look at the example Christ set for us, how do we measure up? Are we bearing fruit?
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 have skills and abilities, but did you know that God wants to take us beyond what you and I can do? God’s ways and plans are so much higher than ours, as we see in Isaiah 55:8-9, if we will but surrender to Him. Friend, if you haven’t begun the journey as a…
