DETERMINATION: INSTRUCTION & TEACHING (2)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Determination
1 Peter 2:2
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
2 Thessalonians 1:4
Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.
The End ...
1. Determination
a) All Christians will have times of doubt and fear and even worry. We can see this throughout the pages of Scriptures in many of our biblical heroes. Satan will often use these things we think on to weaken our faith.
b) Some of the stories of Abraham or even King David and we get to see first hand what fear and worry can look like and often lead us into sin. The word of God has much to say about this topic and gives us many verses to turn to for strength and determination in our daily walk with God. Sometimes these verses will tell us to simply hang on or endure a tough circumstance. Other times we are told to think through and grasp and embrace the power of God in our lives. But overall, God’s word gives us hope as we (sinful people) will battle our sin nature for the rest of our lives or until the return of Jesus.
Galatians 6:9
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up."
