    Saul, Pt. 3

    LIFE IS A TEST (1 SAMUEL 13:5-15) There are many tests in life: death of loved ones, getting the pink slip and struggles in the family, to name the most stressful. One of the most stressful periods of my life was when I returned to full-time continuing theological education. My savings dried up ...read more

    I felt challenged to preach this because of the un-biblical approach to giving in my largest Church, & try to explain that our giving either honours or dishonours God.

    Proverbs 3:1-18 Malachi 3:6-12 Texts: Proverbs 3:9 -10 ‘Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. ’ Malachi 3:10 ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may ...read more

    Sometimes we just need to accept trials as mysterious and even surprising at times! Mysterious because of the nature of the trial and surprising because of what we get out of it.

    How do you know if you are a Christian? Well, John lays out three tests and one of them confronts our social lives. We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves...and we have a great teacher.

    We’re going to continue in our conversation this week looking at 1 John and more specifically, answering the question, “How do you know if you are a Christian?” Two week ago we started looking at how John answers this question and commented that in his letter, John puts out three tests or guides ...read more

    How do you know you are a Christian? John’s third suggestion is called the Doctrine Test and focuses around knowing the Truth!

    Tonight we are going to dive right into our lesson for tonight. We’re continuing to look at John’s guides for answering the question, “How do you know if you are a Christian?” Rather than refresh our memories with what we have talked about the last couple of weeks now I want to wait and sum ...read more

    The Rejection Test

    It is completely unnatural, painful and difficult to risk friendships when you are truly about God’s work, but Jesus never flinched in His pursuit of God’s will - in the end you will discover those who are there for the show and those who show Christ-like

    As I was reading in I Peter 4:1-19 from The Message I came across some passages that appear to be very timely: Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get ...read more

    A sermon that considers what it means to count it all joy when you face all kind of trials. contains quite a bit on william Carey - didn’t use it all but thought it may be a useful resource so have left it in

    Tested Faith.

     | 6,720 views

    While testing is an everyday part of the Christian life, we can take comfort in the promises God has given us.

    1. God promises His perfect provision—God is always good. (17a) 2. God promises His permanent position—God never changes. (17b) 3. God promises His purposeful plan—God has a plan. (18) Two brothers were left alone in the kitchen. The older brother pulled the egg carton out of the refrigerator. ...read more

    How do you know if you are a Christian? Can you? Is it possible? John says yes in his letter and gives three ways that we can know we are "living in the light." The first is the Moral Test.

    We are going to continue on in 1 John tonight. Just to recap, two weeks ago we focused on God being the one constant in our lives. His relationship with us is the only thing that will never fail and never let us down. Last week, we talked about sin and that it is a reality that we all have to deal ...read more

    Just as God tested Abraham by calling him to offer up Isaac as a sacrifice, God also calls us to give up, to sacrifice, to trust even when tested.

    “A Test of Faith” Genesis 22: 1 –19; Hebrews 11: 8 – 12, 17 – 20 Introduction: Testing 1, 2, 3 Tell the story of the student who took an hour extra to complete an exam and the professor who waited for him only to tell him that he was going to fail because he took the extra time.

    We may test our spiritual maturity by assessing who Jesus is for us, whether we live with a sense of victory, and whose opinions matter to us.

    During our stay in England, we visited my wife’s cousin and his wife, who have a nine-month-old baby son. One night they needed to go out for a while on an errand, so they asked us if we would take care of the baby for a couple of hours. Of course we were delighted with the chance to do so, since ...read more

    Following Jesus is the absolutely most important priority in the life of a Christian. What do you think Jesus would say about how well you’re following Him?
