Faith, Hope & Love Part 2 [Sunday School Sept 27th]

Listen to the audio at the bottom of this post.

1 John 5:4
The enemy wants to attack our faith. It’s not how good our lives are that causes us to be an overcomer. Our faith is what makes us overcome. He does not abuse his power/authority.

Just because our lives are imperfect does not mean God is against us. God is for us regardless of our current situation!

Isa 55:6-8
We have to have the mind of God to know what he thinks about or situations. When we know what God thinks about us our faith can remain strong.

prov 23:7
As we think in our heart, so are we.  If  we don’t have the thoughts of God, we can NOT be filled with faith. The way we think will determine if we’re filled with faith or not. We must strive to all be filled with faith. Because the faithful and faithless are like oil and water.

As a church, fellowship can not be our primary focus. Fellowship must be a byproduct of our common faith.

The body of Christ is about having fellowship one with another BECAUSE we have a vibrant life in Jesus Christ.

As with physical weight loss, the only way to increase our faith and grow in God can be found in discepline and self-control.

1 Pet 1;5
Why do we give more time to the temporary than the eternal?  We need to be diligent in our pursuit of and our treasure in heaven.

Eph 3:14-21

2 Cor 10:1-5
It’s our choice what we let in our minds. We have to exercise our minds and thoughts to keep our faith strong.
