-Faithfulness is something that is produced by the Holy Spirit- and it is something we have to go continually back to the Word- grow in our relationship with Christ, and fellowship with believers to find -God is the One who brings the increase- -we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works.- We can do nothing apart from the working God is doing in us. We must trust God, not man--- God uses us to fulfill His purposes. -I might add He does not need us at all, He wants us and chooses to use us, despite all our weaknesses, for in our weakness He is strong.- A good servant is there always for his master, answering to his every call- being obedient. We are slaves of Jesus Christ.--What a beautiful thing to be called faithful in this-

The covenant that God made with Abraham will be looked at a little differently after you listen to this sermon- God gave Abraham and us a clear picture as He made this covenant what He would do in sending His Son Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb for the whole world. God bless you, and may you be filled with a new sense of awe and praise of God's promises and love as you listen-

God will call His people to do things in their lives that make no earthly sense. God told Jeremiah to a buy a piece of land in a war zone. It made no earthly sense, but God had a great reason for this command. Jeremiah acted out of faith and did what God asked him to do. May we do the same.

The depths of the goodness of God are unfathomable- Thank-you God for sending Jesus to die and rise again- Thank-you for Your forgiveness- May we live our lives as little images of your goodness for all to see-

We have a perfect example of patience in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To keep focused and to have patience first and foremost- let us together look hopefully and joyfully forward to the returning of Jesus Christ. As I come love and trust Jesus more and more, I will become more patient and willing to do whatever He calls me to do.

This is the mark of a Spirit-led Christian- that they have Biblical peace with God and others, regardless of their circumstances.
