Sunday Morning | February 23, 2025 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY
In his sermon "Five Ways to Fight the Temptation to Give Up," Pastor John, drawing from 1 Peter 5:8-11, encourages believers to persevere through trials by adopting key spiritual disciplines. First, he emphasizes the need to stay alert, likening spiritual vigilance to the awareness required in the wild, as illustrated by photos from Africa. Second, he urges believers to practice active resistance, citing James 4:6-7 as a call to stand firm against the enemy. Third, he highlights the importance of strengthening one’s spiritual immune system, fostering resilience through faith and discipline. Fourth, he reminds the congregation that they are not alone, pointing to the stories of faithful believers in books like Shadow of the Almighty and Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret, which provide inspiration and encouragement. Finally, he encourages focusing on the future promise, looking beyond present suffering to the eternal glory God has prepared. Through these five strategies, Pastor John offers a roadmap for enduring hardship with faith and perseverance.
