Sermons on Patience (Page 3)
What if your times of trial, persecution, or discipline put you in a position to point others to God’s will and purpose for their lives? We are encouraged to continue speaking God’s truth, even in the most troublesome times, as Bro. Jeff shares accounts of many of Bible’s greatest prophets.
God has provided us a foundation to keep us firm when the winds of adversity threaten to throw us off course. Bro. Jeff shares Biblical truths we need to know in order to establish our firm foundation.
What keeps God’s people focused and motivated? We have God’s love which comes with an eternal hope! Bro. Jeff encourages us to endure in times of trial, in periods of persecution, and in days of discipline.
Because God wants to make us examples of love, faithfulness, and purity, we are once again challenged with the question, “If everyone followed my example, what kind of church would we be?” Bro. Jeff inspires us to do serious self-examination and surrender to God’s will for our lives.
When the pressure is on, some blow up, some bow down. There’s nothing more important than being alone with God in prayer. Are we doing more playing than praying? More entertainment than evangelism? Using our Savior’s example, Bro. Jeff exhorts us to be diligent about the things of God.
There are those that have the love of God deposited in them, being demonstrated through them, and even developed in them, but they begin to drift…from their walk with God and thus from their love of God. As Bro. Jeff examines the failure of the church at Ephesus, he challenges us to self reflect. Have you left your first love?
“Nothing happens to us that doesn’t first pass through the hands of God.” HE is sovereign, and we can trust Him in times like these. Find encouragement in the examples of David and Jesus in this timely message by Bro. Jim.
Even when God puts you in a wilderness of trials, tribulations, unjust treatment, He is working out His will and purpose. Israel’s history provides great Biblical examples that highlight God’s sovereignty and His work in people’s lives. Bro. Jeff points out what we can learn from their successes and failures and how we can stay on the path of belief and trust in Him. Are you in the center of God’s plan for your life?
Bro. Jeff continues encouraging Christians to expand their love for others. He details three requirements that a growing love needs: continuing in God’s Word, a walk like the Savior, and ministry work. We hope you benefit as much as we did from this very timely sermon.
