We Might Want To Prove Our Worth In One Huge Task But God Insists On Lots Of Little Steps Of
Obedience And Faith
Jim’s story of lost glasses and a dip in Union Creek
Getting started and dropping out (either slip-sliding away or outright rebellion) has dire consequences. Hebrews 6:4-9
“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.” ~Walter Elliott
FAITHFUL AT WHAT? JUST GROWING OLDER AND HANGING ON?
Three stories of faithfulness: Watchful, Fruitful and Useful Matthew 25
Sometimes ‘Hanging On’ is a pretty tough stunt in itself. Ephesians6:10-20
Faithfulness is usually a group effort. Galatians 6:1-2
My Faithfulness Greatly Depends On God’s Faithfulness
Will I cry out for help from Heaven?Exodus 33:12-14 Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Am I powered by my energy and vision or…?Col 1:28-29 ‘We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
