Endurance (4 of 5)
by Rick White
Introduction: Looking back over the past decade of your life, what do you wish you had not quit? Do you wish you had finished high school, college or graduate school? Do you wish you had kept on taking piano, voice, or dance lessons? Do you wish you had stayed with your previous job? Do you wish you had continued to work on your relationship with your spouse? Do you wish you had maintained that long-term friendship that has long since past? Do you wish you had kept on walking with the Lord? Most of try not to think about our failures any more than we have to; in fact, Scripture itself cautions us not to live in the past....
The Endurance Ticket (5 of 6)
by Frank Damazio
Introduction: We begin this journey of punching the tickets to life with the free gift of salvation. But even with the free gift, one must believe, put faith in action, and then build upon that faith. We are to ''add,'' supply anything that is needed with a diligent effort. This is a partnership as these virtues grow out of Holy Spirit activity in our life. We now examine adding to our faith the endurance virtue.I. YOUR TICKET TO LIFE A. DEFINITIONS 1. Ticket to Life: A special pass offered to you by Jesus to enter into specified places that requires someone to pay the costs of the ticket. The holder has faith to receive the tickets and enter...
Hopeful Endurance (6 of 6)
by Dave Gustavsen
We've been taking the past seven weeks or so to walk through the book of James. And we've been saying every week that James gives us this beautiful vision of a life of integrity. In other words, here's what life could look like if we were able to bring unity between what we believe and the way we actually live. So he talked about how faith changes the way we handle pain and disappointment. He talked about how faith changes the way we favor some people and devalue others. How faith changes how we communicate with people. How it helps us experience this ''Copernican Revolution'' of the soul, where we stop...
Finding the Endurance to Continue It (3 of 4)
by M. Kenneth Lyon
Now I speak to you as one who does not have it all together. If you know me any at all you know that I don't have it all together. I am a person well acquainted with the difficulties in making changes that last. It is a very difficult thing. It is even difficult for me to make even little changes that last. Just a few weeks ago a fellow in our congregation by the name of Bob Conley did a gracious thing for me. He and I played golf one day and he noticed that the grips on my golf clubs had not been changed in forever, 7 years since those clubs were given to me. They were cracked and peeling. So he said, ''Look, I'll re-grip them for you...
Fight the Good Fight of Faith (2 of 8)
by Lenny Ports
1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. When we LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE, we will FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. If we have CONFESSED OUR FAITH IN CHRIST, let us be those that are LIVING A LIFE OF FAITH while we are here on earth. (Written by Paul around AD 67 right before his death in AD 68) 2 Timothy 4:6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have...
You're Not a Failure until You Quit
by David Davis
Galatians 5:22 - ''But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith...'' Are you a patient person? Maybe I ought to ask your husband or wife. Your friends. Or better yet, your children. The word ''longsuffering'' means ''patience.'' Let's take a test:How are you with interruptions? How do you deal with irritations? Cold food, long lines, inept clerks, traffic jams, lost keys, flat tires. How about inconveniences? Fast foods, fast lanes at the store, instant coffee, microwaves. It is estimated the average person spends one year searching for misplaced objects; six years eating; eight months opening junk mail...
Sustaining Faith (10 of 10)
by Stephen Whitney
Inscribed on the wall of a cellar in Cologne, Germany, during World War II where Jews hid from the Nazis was this statement: I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love when feeling it not. I believe in God even when he is silent. True faith is not based on our feelings which change, but upon our belief in the character and person of God who does not change. Someone had defined faith with the acrostic, Forsaking All I Trust Him. This certainly describes the men and women mentioned in Hebrews 11 as they persevered though great suffering, trusting that God would fulfill his promises. We like to think that God always...

Just a Little While (27 of 48)
by Jerry Vines
These are great words of encouragement for us in these verses. This is actually a completion of the 4th warning passage in the book of Hebrews. There are five warning passages in Hebrews. They warn us of the failure to become everything that God has saved us to become. Not only are they warning passages, but they are also passages of great encouragement. We have looked at the warning section in verses 26-31. Those verses warn us of the danger of presumptuous sin-willful, defiant sin. Sinning on purpose is how we called it last week. The Bible warns us as believers against the danger of sinning on purpose and he showed us...
