Cornerstone Truth

It has been said countless times that fundamentals win games!  This concept is true in nearly any pursuit in life.  Just as there are foundational truths in building a strong resilient marriage and family so there are fundamental, cornerstone truths, upon which a victorious life in Christ can be achieved.  The one cornerstone truth that stands supreme above all others in the bible is the truth that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.  Jesus said He would build His church on this truth!  This morning we will return to 1 John 1:1-5 to discover this truth once again to reinforce and build our victorious faith so that our confession have the substance and manifest evidence of our conviction, trust, and reliance upon Jesus as our Lord!

Please join me as we answer the questions What does it mean that Jesus is our Christ and the Son of God?

Morning Assembly for 10/22/2023

The post What Does Victorious Faith Look Like? appeared first on Pleasant Hill Church of Christ.

“Faith is the Victory that Overcomes the World!”  What a great old hymn and the perfect title for today’s sermon!  Last weeks sermon title was “Faith in and of Christ, Produces A Reverential Fear of God Which Destroys the Fears Man!   This morning we continue to build our knowledge about the faith that give us the victory over Satan and his plans to destroy us and all those who are presently held captive by him.  To introduce the lesson I will give four very specific truths upon which we will build our lesson.  The first important point of focus is the fact that the decisive victory over Satan and his pernicious plans to destroy the church and all mankind is the faith which He had and gives to us through a correct understanding of His word!  The second critical point to understand the victory we possess in Christ is to realize what “the world” is and what it means to “overcome” the world through our faith and belief that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living, that we might be born of God!

We must not forget the lessons we have learned about fearing the LORD and not fearing man!  We must remember what the reverential fear of the LORD is and what the reverential fear of the LORD is not!  We must be reminded consistently of the many blessings and rewards of possessing and walking in the reverential fear of the LORD.  We must recall that through the fear of the LORD we overwhelmingly conquer in this life!  Finally, we must recognize the critical nature of growing our faith in the LORD, realizing our faith in Christ, and living by the faith of Christ, is foundational for the great courage and confidence experienced when we, by faith, fear the LORD only!  This morning’s message is titled, “Faith in and of Christ, Produces A Reverential Fear of God Which Destroys the Fears Man! Today we will begin by examining the heart of David, the man who feared the LORD and was a man who possessed a faithful heart like Christ’s.  In the second and final point we will listen to the apostles, Paul and John as they describe the powerful nature of faith to overcome and conquer the fears of man.  If we are to remain steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, even in the face of overwhelming evil, we must possess the faith of Christ just as David, Paul, and John!

As we draw near to the end of the year we will study the two great foundational components of the Fear of the LORD.  The title of this introductory lesson is, “The Foundation for Fearing the LORD is Our Faith and Love for Him.”  As we grow in our knowledge of who Jesus is and we are impacted by our understanding of His great love for us we are moved to yield our lives to His authority in reverential fear.  As our knowledge of Jesus grows our faith and belief in His sovereignty and authority over every aspect of our life grows.  As we recognize His absolute power over all, we wisely humble ourselves before Him who has created us and calls us into His service.   In the same way as we grow in our understanding of His boundless love for us,in the sacrifice of Himself, we willing yield our lives to Him and to His will.  Today, and in the next several weeks, we will discover the relationship between growing our faith and love for Him, so that we will rightly fear Him and humbly serve Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
