First United Methodist CHURCH Sermons
When we get complacent, the first thing we set aside is the need to stay focused. We see God’s presence and cry out for God’s help when times are tough. Yet, remaining faithful in the midst of the quiet times is a challenge. We fall back into old habits or lose sight of the goal, to quickly find we are back in the same struggles that threaten our spiritual health. Examining the consequences of relapse or backsliding, and hearing the call to persevere, can help us to cultivate a life of faith that will see us through temptation and keep us rooted in God’s love.
Today's sermon is "The Challenge of Remaining Faithful" and comes from Judges 16:4-9, 15-22.
Points from today's sermon:
1. Importance of being focused on God and being faithful.
2. Samson’s story and reflecting on the consequences of spiritual relapse.
3. Encouraging and staying focused in faithfulness to God.
