Sermons About Perseverance
God's Word an extension of God's Character (Ps. 119:137-144)
Gods' Word reflects God's righteous character and produces righteousness in His people, therefore God's Word is the food and joy of His servants. We often don't think of it that way, yet God says that He exalts His Word to the level of His Name. When the Bible speaks, God speaks, God is eternal, His Word is eternal. God is righteous, His Word is given in righteousness. The list could go on. God has communicated Himself in His Word and to embrace this reality by faith produces God's character in His people, and HIs Word becomes a source of inexhaustible strength and joy.

The Representative
Daniel 9 The Representative Perseverance vs. Procrastination 1. Who has the time? Daniel 6:10 ‘And Daniel went to the open window, knelt down and prayed and gave thanks three times a day, as was his custom since early days.’ 2. Whose problem is it? Daniel 9:10 “We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord….” Whether we have or have not been complicit to the problem, we are all capable of it and so include ourselves as we cry out to God for mercy on us and our world. 3. Who will God listen to? Daniel 9:23 ”… and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved..” Ezekiel 22:30 “So I looked for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me in behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found no one.” To re-present someone is to, with all due diligence, give others an undistorted view of the one being represented. Daniel 6:16 As Darius the king prepared to have Daniel thrown to the lions he said to Daniel; “Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.”

The Witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16-17)
The pillar of our security and assurance in our salvation is the gospel. Do you know, understand and believe the gospel? Are you actively and persistently putting your faith in Christ? Here is your primary assurance that you belong to Christ. In addition to this primary means of assurance, we may also draw assurance from the fact that the gospel and word and Spirit are at work in our lives producing the fruit of the Spirit; and from our experience of God's peace and comfort and nearness in the Spirit.
