Anderson Sermons

All of life is infused with spiritual realities - our jobs, families, friendships, major decisions and even the small details of daily experience. How can we honor God and enjoy victory in all of our moments? Joshua's experience teaches us that we must be vigilant to remain in constant, conscious reliance on God's power and guidance.

We, like Joshua, are called to an overwhelming task, but we serve an incomparably great God. He never calls us to anything unless He has also provided us with the resources to accomplish our calling. Our "success" is guaranteed when we courageously follow Him and remain in His presence.

The church in Antioch was rich - rich in the gospel, rich in people and materially eager to share. Recognizing their wealth compelled them to send the gospel beyond their city to those who had never heard. We can learn a lot from their example!

We, God's servants, will be tested. When, not if, this happens, where will we turn? Where will we turn in times of fear, in times of affliction, or in times of affluence and praise from the world? Will we trust in Him and in Him alone? Consistent, lifelong trust in all circumstances is the most vital attribute God intends to produce in His servants.

Most of us believe in generosity. But believing in generosity is different from actually being generous. How can we become generous, giving what we have to God from a joyful heart? We become generous by learning to give consistently, sacrificially, willingly, and wisely.

We all have idols - things we pursue and trust in to make life satisfying and safe. Very often these idols are revealed by how we spend our money. However, when we deliberately choose to sacrificially share from our wealth, we break the hold of idols over our hearts, and we find contentment, freedom and joy in God.

We are rich! Of course, we normally don't think of ourselves as rich because we measure our wealth only in comparison to people who have more than we have. But compared to the rest of the world, we are rich, both materially and spiritually. And because we are rich, we are also responsible to share from the blessings that God has given to us.
