Sermons on Devotion

Walk This Way

At the start of this new chapter, Paul goes right into a discussion about the importance (and imperative!) of a life lived in devotion to the Lord Jesus, which manifests itself in holiness. Paul specifically calls it a “walk”. The walk is a Jewish euphemism that we actually understand in our own culture (i.e. whenever we say something like “don’t just talk the talk, walk the walk”). To Paul, it matters whether not we are actually living out the devotion to our King that we claim we have. Are we walking this walk? 

Unshaken Faith

As Paul had made clear to this church (and continues to), suffering for the sake of Christ is inevitable.  The question ought never to be “Will we face persecution?” but, rather, “How do we respond when we do face persecution? ” We want the same thing Paul wanted – for followers of Jesus to remain unshaken in their faith.  In this passage we will explore that faith is much, much deeper than simply “believing certain facts about Jesus”.
