While the Word of God speaks about the future and very clearly reveals the hope we hold, how does that knowledge factor into our daily living? Is it only the ultimate future that holds promise for us, or can we legitimately plan for and have “dreams” for this present time?

Fellowship
Fellowship involves the sharing of interests, ideals and experiences, and these concepts are clearly mentioned and explained in the Bible. Fellowship involves each one of us, and how we participate is important–even to the point of determining our future in God’s Kingdom!
Strength and Weakness
Weakness, measured by the standards of this world, makes the strength of God perfect in the life of a Christian. Brains, brawn and all kinds of strengths that we may have, are all from God. God’s chosen people are described as the weak, foolish and base people of the world. Yet to God, these weaknesses are counted as strengths when one turns to Him for strength.

Do we
show partiality in our spiritual development and growth? Do we favor only
parts of God’s way of life over others? God has proven His impartiality
towards us by sacrificing His Son so that we might live eternally. We
must not ignore this great gift through playing favorites with God’s Law, but
must embrace the Law in its entirety.
Are You Convinced?
Becoming convinced that God’s way is the right way is the beginning step in a Christian’s conversion. In order to attain the goal, conviction must be maintained. There are several ways one can become unconvinced, and several ways one can stay convinced of God’s truth. Understanding what kind of behavior to be on guard against and what to put into active practice is utterly important. This split sermon covers a handful of ideas to help in this endeavor.
