dear cell, this is the summary of the sermon. Before this, kudos to all who have made the little but significant changes to the blog. Can we make this blog both inward n outward looking?
Ed, can you lead the bros in thinking about how we can make this blog more outward looking.
Subject: How to live strong with the Shield of faith. (reading: Eph 6:13)
Compliments:
1. Start walking in faith
-Things in the spiritual realm are done according to our faith. (Scripture ref Mat 9:29, Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you")
- Faith is actively moving in God's power. (Scripture ref Mat 17:20, 20He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.")
- We walk by faith and not by sight. (Scripture ref 2 Cor 5:7) faith calls for stepping out.
2. Faith is living in God's presence
Scripture reference: Eph 3:12, Eph 3:14-21
the references spoke about faith being found in God's presence.
The key idea is therefore to walk close with God. To tap into His infinite presence that is readily available and not intermittent. The devil may throw arrows of accusation and defamation that we are not good enough. Well, without grace no one is good enough to enter HIs presence. But thank God that Jesus Christ has died for us, by His blood, we are accepted into God's presence.
3. Faith is pressing on to the end.
Faith is not static but requires us to move and lay hold.
Application:
If we give out of our riches and within our means, it is charity and not giving.
if it is readily within our means to accomplish something, it is not faith.
it is the season to look far and ask big.
Joshua C : Pray and write to 5 pple next week, to bless them in showing that Jesus is a God who loves.
