Pastor Steve one said and other I’ve heard other guys sent to that. Whenever you choose to preach on something God will test you during the week. And like a dummy I decided to preach on perseverance. That I have proved that to be very true. So this this week as been a jewel that’s for sure. But we shall persevered. OK so. Character traits that Christians should possess. One number one is faithfulness. Christians should be faithful people. They should possess courage. And naturally love. Representing God and he’s he is love. In military. Generosity. Integrity. You know if you look at people claim they’re Christian and then they’re not integrity they don’t have integrity the new kind of think well what’s going on you know are they really are Christian or are they just a work in progress. Another one number seven is was them. Number eight is hope. And his compassion. Tennis teach ability. And eleven is self-control. And that brings me to number twelve which is perseverance. The first eleven are evidences of Christian character perseverance creates character. Most Bibles use the word insurance or patient into. Words. But I believe Perseverance is a stronger word. Out of Hebrews ten it says you need to persevered so that when you have done the will of God you will receive what he has promised. That’s out of the end I. Think of a quarterback running down the field with a football. And he’s doing fine until all these big guys are getting his way and they say we’re not coming this way. And he would have a lot easier time if it wasn’t for them here I mean he could just run down the field and take the ball were we wanted but what would be the point. And it’s the same in our Christian journey we have three big guys that step into our way and try to derail us the world the flesh and the devil. If they weren’t there would be so much easier but then again what would be the point. You know the Bible says in Revelation it says several times to him whoever comes. To him or overcomes so. The world to flourish and to double the world is like a big flea market. You can have this you can do that you only go around once so you need to get all the toys you can. Well. That’s certainly out there. And you know. How many. What disturbs me sometimes they get all these e-mails were. Just within the last day going to get up here and you know get your last day for sale. So. The world has. Everything. They think we need. The flesh is hungry for the things of the world and those things never satisfy. And it’s not wrong to have stuff you know some people lives some it’s been preached in some circles you know you go to get rid of everything well how can you help others if you don’t have anything it’s just you don’t worship the things of the world. And then there’s the devil he calls are hungry hungry flesh to the things of the world trying to get the attention off God or provider. If we have. God as our provider we don’t need to be. Where. We don’t need to. Trust in worldly things or worldly ways to get things because God will give us what we need. In our enemies ruthless trying to hold us back from for filling our God given purpose. Some people have to pre-purchase severe. Through tremendous trials. Keep in mind that Jesus is our model. He persevered. Even though he didn’t deserve what he got. He said Follow me. I have a few people here. To use as examples one is no and. You know there’s no. Out in the middle. The puck the back side of. The back side of the front side I don’t know he was out there. It’s like. He’s out there and God says Build a Boat. Build a very big but. Gave me the measurements. And I’m sure no I thought. I’m standing in like a desert place an
