Sermons About Faithfulness
What You Can Do - Numbers 13:1-3, 26-14:10a
Series: Preparing for What's Ahead (Part 5) – In this fifth sermon in the series, we will be moving from apocalyptic and prophetic Scriptures to a portion of narrative from Numbers 13 and 14 that will serve as an example of faithfulness in the face of overwhelming disbelief and unfaithfulness. Caleb and Joshua serve as illustrative examples of why it is that those faithful to God go through difficult times with those who choose to turn away from God. You will learn one of the most important things you can do to serve God faithfully as ever more difficult days come. Finally, you will receive step-by-step instructions that will provide you with you a way to join with a growing number of Christians who desire to be of the greatest use to God in the fulfillment of God's sovereign purposes and plans.

Searching For God in Your Darkness
Job Teaches us about faithfulness in the midst of personal darkness. He teaches us that even when we cannot find God, God never abandons us. It is God that sustains us. God sent Jesus Christ into this dark world to be light. Jesus is the light in our personal darkness.

A Word From Heaven
We can trust the authenticity of the Bible because the author is real. We can grow from the testimony of others who have trusted in the Word of God. How does my testimony challenge others to grow? Our life is an encouragement for others to go on and the Word of God we display can shape others. Our personal challenge is to stay faithful to the teachings of scripture. Daily challenge to faithfulness: watch and listen in prayer and refuse to let a day go by without complete dependence on God. Practical purposes of God speaking: we are to be students, we are able to find correction and we are ready to carry out God's program.

When There's Nothing You Can Do

Overcoming the Darkness
57Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, 60but his mother answered, "No; he shall be called John." 61And they said to her, "None of your relatives is called by this name." 62And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called. 63And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered. 64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. 65And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea, 66and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him. 67And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, 68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people 69and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 71 that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us; 72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, 78because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high 79to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." 80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

Pleasing the Master
Everything we have is from God and we’re going to be held responsible for how we use it. The parable of the talents gives us a glimpse of what God expects from us when He returns. How can we please the Master?
