Keeping the Faith - Pr. Brent Cantelon - Sep. 13th, 2009

Jude 1:3, 17
Encourage leaders to be aware that in the last days there will be mockers, those who will come to bring division amongst you.

1 Cor. 15: 1
- We stand in the gospel.
- What you were saved in, hang onto.
- Don't be deceived.

2 Cor. 11:2
- Don't be corrupted from the simplicity of Jesus.
- Don't fall for a different Gospel.

1 Cor 16:13
-Stand fast
-Be brave
-Be strong
-Keep the faith

Ephesians 6:11-16
Put on the whole armour of God. Don't leave anything out!

How do we keep the faith?
-Don't be ashamed of the gospel. The Gospel brought you salvation. (Romans 1:16)
-The cross is the only way. (Col 2:14)
-Believe in the Divinity of Christ:
• born of a virgin
• sinless life
• died on a cross
• arose from the dead
• triumphant at the right hand of God
• returning for us one day
• hold onto the inspiration of the Bible - not just a book
• Jesus IS coming back - hold on to this fact

2 Tim 3:16
Hold onto the Spirit filled interpretation of the scripture.Holy living. We have been called to a high standard of holiness. Keep the faith for your kids, your grandkids, and future generations. It's not just about us!

Ministry Time
Why not slip onto your knees in your group and pray. Ask the Lord to renew your faith. Maybe your faith has taken some hits lately. Maybe some darts have been getting through and you feel attacked in your faith. Pray for one another. Read over the scriptures we have talked about throughout the week and ask God to strengthen you. Have courage. Be strong.
