Our Journey 3 31 14 & 8 14 20

Monday, March 31, 2014 & Friday, August 14, 2020 - "The Connection" Series

Scripture: Philippians 1:6 (NIV) – “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Message: In thinking about this Scripture, I remembered the song by Steve Green, “He Who Began a Good Work in You.” It is a beautiful song and is based on this Scripture. It reminds me of the journey that we as Christians make each day. When we began our faith journey, God’s grace was already at work in our lives.

Spiritual development is a process not an event, and we will encounter obstacles and difficulties all along the way. But we are told in scripture to persevere with patience, and that produces character. We study the Bible, our instruction manual, learn from other Christians, and ask God’s help through prayer. God is always with us and He watches over us and helps us on our journey.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, help us travel our road with faith and confidence in You. Please keep us from giving up, or detouring from Your path. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
