In this Sermonette we will together consider the scriptures that prove to us that our suffering is a trial that can prepare us for what God requires from us, and what He has in store if we overcome, as Christ overcame.
Sermons
Is Our Trust Aligned with our Goals?
It is easy to state that we “trust in God” but do our actions acknowledge that fact? Trust isn’t demonstrated by statement, it is proven by action. Our belief in God must fundamentally be ingrained in every part of our lives. It is in that state that we confirm what it really means to have trust in God.
Sharpening the Ax
When urgency takes all of our attention, our actions take the form of reaction. It is critical in the life of a Christian to dedicate time to meditate on transforming our lives and choose our actions intentionally.
Conviction!
How convicted are we in what we believe, to the Truth, and are we committed to it for life?
When, How And What Should We Hate?
Is there something like righteous and godly hatred? For a Christian, it may be difficult to see how “hate” could be a part of God’s character, because many feel erroneously that a Christian must never hate. However, David gives us several examples in the book of Psalms which show us what and how we should and must hate. This includes the command to stay away from people who want to tempt us and others to sin.
When, How and About What Should We Be Angry?
Is there righteous anger which Christians should and must have? In this sermon, we will look at examples of righteous men who became angry, and they had godly reasons for that. We will see that even Christ became angry, and why this was the case.
Stress At This Time
We live in a time of great stress and fear. How can we avoid becoming overwhelmed and worried when so many things around us are going wrong? What can we learn by studying the word of God in this regard?
Is It Worth It?
Christianity takes work and personal sacrifice. The question of whether the work and sacrifice is worth the effort is a question most often presented to those who are beginning the Christian journey. However, it is also important to reaffirm our commitment at every point along the way, long after we begin.
What Kind of Accent Do We Have?
The Power of Family
Family is central to the message of the Bible, and the ultimate destiny of mankind involves birth into the Family of God. Do you understand what God requires from each of us to be counted worthy of this astonishing future?
