Keep Your Nose to the Grindstone Part 5 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

2 Timothy 2:12b- “If we deny him, he also will deny us. 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” IN PART FIVE of this series we stress the importance of not denying the Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved, some folks have a profession without possession. They claim they are Christians but have never been born again. They have head knowledge but not heart knowledge of Christ. How do people deny the Lord? We cover five different ways in the message. People who hold on to the truth of the gospel give evidence of belonging to Christ. The cost of discipleship is never too high for faithful servants of God. We share eight ways that Christ is faithful to us. He abideth faithful. Great is His Faithfulness. * Great Is Thy Faithfulness * Failing health may leave me weakened like an old, frayed rope that is ready to break, yet, great is thy faithfulness. * Fear may melt and crack my courage and confidence in God's promises like frozen ice that's doused with hot water, yet, great is thy faithfulness. * Fierce words may slander and slash me like sharpened swords and stings of a scorpion, yet, great is thy faithfulness. * The folly of the wicked may hinder my desire and service for Christ like fallen boulders on a mountain pass, yet, great is thy faithfulness. * Fickle friends may prove to be false and fake like counterfeit money and dump me like an old, tattered shirt in a dumpster, yet, great is thy faithfulness. * My finances may flounder, leaving my cabinets clear and my billfold barren like a drought-stricken desert, yet, great is thy faithfulness. This message was preached on Sunday night January 19, 2025, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
