Home Devotional Guide for April 3-9, 2011 03/31/2011
0 Comments
 
The readings and questions are from James. This is a special "one-off" guide. Since I'm not preaching this Sunday, the current series on Malachi is on a brief hiatus. I'll resume it next week.

This devotional guide is intended for home use, specifically for use among families, though you can use it by yourself. I recommend that you gather your family together, and for 15-20 minutes read scripture, discuss scripture's teaching, and pray for each other. The guide focuses on the scriptures we use on Sunday morning.

Download link is above. Please use this, share it, distribute it. Permission is given to download and make copies for yourself or your church or organization.

Sermon Slidecast: Persevere to Progress 02/08/2010

We progress in our faith through perseverance. We each face trials, challenges, and uncertainty. We grow, not by giving up, but by facing these things head on through faith. We persevere through them.

Sermon Outline: Persevere to Progress 02/07/2010
0 Comments
 
Introduction: What do you think about when you think about perseverance?
  • Me: persevering through 8 long months without LOST
  • Others (more seriously)
  • persevering through uncertainty (unknown job statuses)
  • persevering through a bad start (is this really God's work if it stalled out? stopping food pantries and clothing banks because of a bad start, etc.)
  • persevering through trial (Haiti earthquake survivors)
1. Joseph persevered through uncertainty. Genesis 39:20.
  • Joseph faced numerous trials that created uncertainty: tossed in a well; sold into slavery; working in a strange land; false accusations; tossed into jail; forgotten in jail; negotiating Egyptian politics as a ruler.
  • He recognized through all this uncertainty that God meant it for good.
  • Perseverance enables us know certainty even during uncertainty. Genesis 50:20.
2. Moses persevered through a bad start. Exodus 5:6-7.
  • When Moses first challenged Pharaoh, Pharaoh responded by making the work harder for the Jews.
  • When Moses finally freed the people, they ended up wandering in a desert for 40 years before they received the promised land.
  • Perseverance enables us to finish strong.
3. James teaches us to persevere through trials. James 1:2-4.
  • James knew that we all face different things that test our faith.
  • We only grow by facing these tests head on and persevering through them.
  • Perseverance enables us to mature in faith and become complete.
Application
  • We progress through perseverance
  • Where are you?--uncertainty, bad start, trials?
  • How do you persevere? Focus not on the trial but on what is being done in you. [counter-intuitive]
    • Do not focus on the uncertainty, the slow start, or the trial. Focus on what God is doing in you.

    On this blog I typically post audio devotionals, Bible study notes or resources that I'm working on for use at the Otisville Church of Christ, where I preach, or short articles about ministry and church leadership. Occasionally I post a book review.

    For more regular "microblogging," or to connect with me online, do so at Twitter or Facebook.

    I upload and post my sermon from Sunday each Monday. You can find sermons and an RSS link at my Sermons page. You can listen to sermons online or download them in MP3 format.

    Although I work for the Otisville Church of Christ in Otisville, Michigan, this blog represents my own thoughts and does not necessarily correspond to the views and workings of the Otisville Church of Christ.
