Sermons tagged #Reliance

Pleas join us as Pastor Andy brings us a message how to walk the way Jesus walked, and how someone who claims to abide in Jesus is obligated to live.

The Christian life and ministry is about moving from sinful self-reliance and toward a greater God-reliance. And God uses adversity and sufferings for Christ to produce in us this greater reliance upon himself. So suffering and comfort not only authenticates our faith it also moves into a greater reliance upon God as our deliverer and hope. This is not a popular message, but it is the path to greater comfort and hope as we walk in Jesus' footsteps.

Are you relying on God? Reliance produces obedience, trust, and reverence.

The sermon explorers what is worthy of total reliance.

THe King we need is not just one who starts well, but one who does all things well and never fails. King Asa of Judah started well, but ended badly, forgetting to seek God, and instead making a covenant with King Ben-Hadad of Syria and ignoring God. He would not listen to God's rebuke, and ended wretchedly, though he was laid in a rock-cut tomb. He points us by contrast to Christ, who was and is ever faithful, and though he was buried, was raised from the dead and lives for ever to save his people.

Ephesians 6:12–16;

Text: James 5:12-20 (1) Our need for integrity (v. 12). (2) Our need for reliance and restoration (vv. 13-20). Truth to Remember: In a world of dishonesty, distress, and destruction, we need to depend on God, whose power renews and restores.

Christians are called to live their daily lives in a way that is sharply different from the world around them and from the lifestyle that characterized their pre-Christian past. Our lives are to be determined by our relationship with Jesus Christ and the new identity we have in Him.

Perpetual dependency is an essential lesson; we always need Christ. When doing the Lord's work. (v.14-18) When dealing with evil powers. (v.19-22) Even for believing in Christ or praying.
