Strange Women and Filthy Dreamers Midweek Service Pastor Jason Sparks

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Jesus from the OT in John 3:3-10

This sermon explores the Christian call to labor for the church, drawing primarily from Philemon verses four through seven. It establishes that salvation is by grace through faith, but genuine faith inevitably produces good works directed toward fellow believers. The speaker emphasizes that this labor is rigorous and should increase over time, illustrated by the enduring impact of Philemon's past actions. Additionally, the message encourages a shift in prayer life from predominantly petitionary requests to thankful adoration, mirroring the Apostle Paul's example. Ultimately, believers are urged to serve Christ through service to His people with persistent love and gratitude.

~~~~~~~ No 26 in the series - The Epistles of Peter. ~~~~~~~ **Considering 2 Peter 1:12-15** Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always **in remembrance** of these things, ......... to stir you up by putting you **in remembrance;** ........ Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always **in remembrance.** *1/ A reminder of God's use of aids to remembrance in his Word, the Bible. 2/ "These things" Peter wants us to have **always** in remembrance, and what is not stopping him from reminding us. 3/ The blessing of rememberance.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the critical spiritual discipline of remembering God's truths, drawing primarily from 2 Peter 1:12-15 where the Apostle Peter urges believers to constantly recall essential doctrines. The preacher highlights various biblical aids for remembrance, such as the rainbow, the Passover, and the Lord's Supper, which serve as tangible reminders of God's covenants and redemptive work. Emphasizing that even established Christians are prone to forgetfulness, the message argues that repeated exposure to Scripture is necessary to maintain faith and prevent spiritual complacency. The Holy Spirit acts as the ultimate Remembrancer, bringing past blessings and scriptural truths to light at divinely appointed times for encouragement and correction. Ultimately, the sermon calls the congregation to actively engage with God's Word so as to have the assurance of their calling and therefore election until Christ's return.
