Title: How Are You Walking?
Author: Dr. Darrow Perkins
Text: 2 Corinthians 5:7
INTRODUCTION: The Christian life is really a lifelong journey. There will be good days; there will be bad days; there will be rough times, and there will be easy times; there will be victories, and there will be defeats. I'm a firm believer that it's not about what life throws at you, but rather how you respond to them that makes all the difference in the world.
I've read somewhere that every journey or trip starts out with the first step. It requires you to do something, that is, get moving so you can begin your journey, but you also have to know how to step and where to step.
I remember watching one of the Indiana Jones movies and in this one in particular, Indiana Jones was going through a maze of tunnels and booby traps in order to find "The Holy Grail" and when he came out the side of a mountain, there was a separation between where he was and where he wanted to go and needed to get to the other side. There was no bridge visibly in front of him, yet he was told that in order to get to the other side, he needed to take a "step of faith." Having thought about it, he stuck his foot out in front of him where visibly there was no bridge at all, yet, when he put his foot down, there was a bridge there that helped him get across the separation. He never would have gotten to the other side of that separation if he did not take a step of faith.
Brothers and sisters, there are things separating us from where we are to where our blessings are and if we really want to attain those things, we too must begin to walk by faith and not by sight. The question today is How Are You Walking?
BACKGROUND/TEXT: We find ourselves in the second letter of Paul to the church at Corinth. Paul wrote this letter because he received word that some Judaizing teachers were in Corinth teaching and spreading a different gospel from what Paul had taught and he needed to correct their teachings.
