2 Timothy 3 Deuteronomy 4-5 Psalm 86 Timothy's Training:: Example, Expectation, & Exhortation. Editor Comment: Dead battery out-of-blue and 3x failed sync. I hope the message gets through to those who need it.

Zacharias and Elisabeth had a difficult trial in their lives and marriage. They were childless. However, the Lord had chosen them and predestinated (ordered) their lives. They were childless according to purpose. During the Trial, God kept them faithful. We don't understand our trials in the midst of them, but we are called to faithfulness in them, trusting the Lord. The unfruitfulness of Elisabeth's womb translates to Believers who look for fruitfulness in their own lives. In whatever tribulation or trial you are going through, trust the Lord. Stay upon his means of grace in the preaching of the word and the ordinances he gives to his church. Don't be turned to the flesh to produce fruit. Cry to your God and trust him to ripen his ordained works in you according to his gracious will and purpose. The birth of John signaled the nearness of Christ's coming. Your trials too, like an harbinger signal that Christ is near. Trust him.

And the choices we make in life have consequences. In this expositional sermon, we will see how Moses' faith led him to make choices in life which had great rewards.

Hebrews 12:1-3 " Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 ¶ For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 " Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."

He comes to us when we are hurting, and invites us to cast our heavy burden upon Him.Psalm 34 begins in a cave and ends at Calvary! David's message to his dejected band of outcasts is our message to the world today: Regardless of what we have done, we can be delivered through the sacrificial death of God's Son on the cross. He bore our sin in His body, and we can live righteously through the power of His sacrifice.
