Hi,
Here’s today’s sermon. Let me know if it ministered to you.
Title: "Don't Stop Moving Forward"
Texts: Hebrews 12:1 (NLT): "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us."
* 1 Corinthians 9:24 (NLT): "Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!"
* Philippians 3:14 (NLT): "I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."
Gal 5:7 NLT] 7 You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?
Finances: Stay the course, trust God's provision.
Fitness: Ask God for strength and discipline.
Family: Recognize family as a precious gift, vital resource, and unwavering support. Treasure your loved ones.
Faith Journey: Stay connected to the church, seek support.
Scripture: Galatians 5:7 (NLT)-You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?"
Scripture Context:
* The Book of Galatians addresses the relationship between Gentile Christians and the law of Moses.
* Paul reminds them that they are not bound by the law, even though some Jewish Christians claimed otherwise.
* You ran well: An acknowledgment of their strong start in the faith.
* Who hindered you from obeying the truth? False teachings led them away from Christ.
* There are some people you have to forgive, forget, forsake
* The Galatians left Jesus to pursue legalism, a work of man.
Remember Men in the Bible who did not end strong
* Samson: Started strong but fell to temptation.
* King Saul: Pride led to his downfall.
Judas: Greed resulted in betrayal.
* Today, we gather to ignite a fire within our souls, to renew our commitment, and to remind ourselves that the journey of faith is a race we must run, a vine in which we must abide, and a yoke we must carry with Christ.
* It's about staying on the Potter's wheel, allowing Him to shape us. So, let's dive in and discover how to stay the course, no matter the distractions or challenges that come our way.
