    Sermon # 5 - No Fear In Obedience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 4, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 735 views

    Jonah chose to disobey God and ended up in a tumultuous storm. Are we walking in obedience to God and His word or are we trying to compromise and please people? Here’s a word of caution from the life of Jonah that if God is against us, there is no one who can save us.

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “Then the mariners were afraid,” (ESV) The mariners were filled with dread when they saw that the sea was so tumultuous and beyond their control. They therefore, feared that the ship would be wrecked, their goods destroyed and they would lose their lives in the process. I am ...read more

    When God chooses a person to do his work, he does so with perfect insight and understanding of what kind of person he needs to get the job done. Our role is not to question his instructions but rather to submit and obey.

    I love the movie “A Christmas Story”. You know – the one with the young boy who dreams of getting a b.b. gun for Christmas. It’s got schoolyard bullies and neighbors dogs roaming through the house, and childhood dreams and memories of the way life used to be all wrapped up in one. This year ...read more

    As we study the Sabbath law, we remember that God gives us laws for our benefit. We Christians still follow the 3rd Commandment. So 1 - Remember to obey it. 2 - Remember to benefit from it.

    Pentecost 2 Deuteronomy 5:12-15 Let’s say that you had a friend at work that you found out was a Christian. This co-worker was a very strong Christian; they didn’t just know their Bible very well, but more importantly they really lived the Christian life. And so you felt that you wanted to get to ...read more

    Children Who Learn Series

    My attempt this morning is to communicate a biblical perspective on parenting so that we can do exactly that ­ have the confidence as parents to raise our children properly. Parents, simply put, our job is to teach our children how to obey.

    Children Who Learn I love the things kids come up with. A Sunday School teacher asked her class one day why it was so important to be quiet in the church worship service. One bright little girl replied, “Because people are sleeping.” After coming home from church, one boy suddenly announced to ...read more

    As Jesus’s disciples went with him into Jerusalem, they were afraid. Even so, they show us how to live in uncertain and fearful times: Obey Christ as your Sovereign; Follow Christ as your Servant; & Trust Christ as your Savior.

    Just this last week, I came across an article from The Futurist magazine, which listed some of the worst predictions of all time. They are very interesting. For example: A Roman engineer, Julius Sextus Frontinus, in A.D. 100 said, “Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no ...read more

    The clock is my dictator; I shall not rest. It makes me lie down only when exhausted. It leads me to deep depression. It hounds my soul. It leads me in circles of frenzy for activity's sake.

    In order to faithfully obey God’s call to be messengers of His gospel, we need to see the obstacles that we will face. But not only do we need to see the obstacles, we need to be able to overcome them like Amos did.

    1. Introduction a. A messenger of God will face personal opposition (10) b. A messenger of God will face verbal misrepresentation (11) c. A messenger of God will face sensible temptation (12-13) i. Wouldn’t it be nice to go home? ii. Eat your home cooking? iii. It’s OK to prophesy—just don’t do it ...read more

    God repeatedly tells me I should be thankful for all things. But there are times I don’t want to thankful. There are times I don’t FEEL thankful. So how can I obey God when that happens?

    We compromise because we believe in alternatives and we do not believe in the grave consequences of our actions. Don't fall for the devil's lies. Hold fast to what God says. God's commands are inherently good and not impossible to be obeyed.

    We will be looking into the book of JUDGES and learn from the mistakes of the past. • The book of Judges starts with “After the death of Joshua…” • It spans about 400 years, from the time of Joshua’s death to the rise of monarchy (when the people demanded for ...read more

     | 119,460 views

    The secret of blessing lies in our obedience to the laws of God. there were times that we are good to some instructions in the Bible but failed to obey some important commandments especially in finances. God wants to bless us only if we can be obedient.

    THE POWER OF TITHES AND OFFERING Proverbs 3:9-10 New International Version (NIV) 9 HONOR the Lord with your WEALTH, with the FIRSTFRUITS of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. • HONOR GOD WITH OUR ...read more

    People want blessings. They want renewal. But they are not often so willing to obey and to praise God who gives it to them. That’s why, sometimes, meetings that tell you how to be renewed and be filled in the Holy Spirit are packed to the doors ...

    Opening illustration: I expect that if I were to ask you, ‘Why do you come to ‘The Well’ every week?’, many of you would answer, “I come to worship God and be fed with His Word … I want to hear the good news and grow in fellowship with other folks in the body of ...read more

    Attribute Three | A Man Is Radically Obedient Series

     | 5,352 views

    A man is radically obedient. A man invites obedience to God’s moral code because he understands that morality exists outside of himself. He can obey God even when he is uncomfortable and cannot see the whole picture.

    Radical obedience, gentlemen. Radical obedience. So each time – I said I was going to share with you one thing that Jesus did with each one of these attributes and the thing that he said in regard to it. Philippians 2:8 reads, “And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient ...read more
