1 Faithful In Service Acts 13:49-14:28

2 Faithful 1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful (1 Corinthians 4:1-2). 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. (Matthew 24:44-46)

3 Faithfulness Moses was faithful 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, (Hebrews 3:5 ) And the bible does speak of responsible stewardship beyond time 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.' (Matthew 25:21)

4 John 13: A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:34-35) They don t and won t see it in here SO we have to bring it to them..but it starts here

5 1 Corinthians 1:21 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe

6 John MacArthur Boldness is the essential quality without which NOTHING significant can be accomplished for the gospel

7 Mark 6:11 11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them

8 1 Peter 5: Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you

9 Matthew 10:34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword

10 Ephesians 3: Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen

11 1 Peter 5:5-6 5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you

12 Give Thanks In Psalm 118 In this song of victory Psalm 118:1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! (Psalm 118:1 ) The Psalmist speaks of the greatness and goodness of God in Psalm The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. 10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD, and all your saints shall bless you! (Psalm 145:9-10) In Paul s final words to the church of Thessalonica 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1Thessalonians 5:16-18)

13 Matthew 10:39 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

14 Romans 5:3-5 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us

15 Romans 8:18 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us

16 Romans 8: The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs-- heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him

17 Joy in the Lord Proclaim the gospel 2-Expect Persecution 3-Participate in discipleship

18 2 Timothy 2: Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory

19 2 Timothy 3: The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful-- for he cannot deny himself. 14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness

20 Joy Will Come In its Own Time A W Tozier Christ calls men to carry a cross; we call them to have fun in His Name Christ calls them to forsake the world; we assure them that if they but accept Jesus the world is their oyster. Christ calls them to suffer; we call them to enjoy all the bourgeois comforts modern civilization affords. Christ calls them to self-abnegation and death. We call them to spread themselves like green bay trees or perchance even to become stars in a pitiful fifth-rate religious zodiac. Christ calls them to holiness; we call them to a cheap and tawdry happiness that would have been rejected with scorn by the least of the Stoic philosophers.
