Title: Courage in Corinth (8)
Series: Paul-An Apostle of Christ
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Acts 18:1-17
- Do you want to be a courageous Christian? - I hope we all do!
- COURAGE isn't needed when things are easy, is it? It doesn't take a lot of courage for most of us to do very normal, daily things. - We go places like work, the store, etc. - With little thought of fear. - But if we were asked to go to the front lines of a war zone ... we would need some ... courage. We need courage when we leave our comfort zone. - You need courage when in situations where courage is needed.
- Sometimes we get DISCOURAGED and we need ENCOURAGEMENT. Have you ever let fear tempt you to quit something important, even something you know God wanted you to do?
- I think we all have. - We've all needed to be lifted up when discouraged. We've all been afraid. - The world can be a scary place! It can be a discouraging place! - And we are very capable of fear and discouragement.
- WE NEED TO LIVE WITH COURAGE. - GOD WANTS US TO LIVE BOLD, COURAGEOUS CHRISTIAN LIVES. - Throughout the Bible He says ... "Do not fear." - God doesn't want us paralyzed by fear, but courageously believing Him and obeying Him.
- In Acts 18 the Apostle Paul lives with courage ... but when he is tempted with fear ... the Lord encourages him. - There is much here for us to learn, so that we too might live w/ courage.
