Sunday Sermon Snippets: the Fruit of Faithfulness

One of my favorite passages in all of Scripture!

Lamentations 3:10-26 “My soul continually remembers it (times of difficulty and trials)and is bowed down within me. But this I (consciously & intentionally) call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations‬ ‭3:20-26‬ ‭

  1. Be a faithful student of faithfulness.                                     Measure up against Gods perfect faithfulness 

       -Review, itemize, apply it

  1. 2. Be a faithful Christian to God first

         Faithfully testify to the goodness of God!

“Do not fear what you are about to suffer (for being faithful to God) Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Revelation‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭

What are some historical martyrs that inspire me? Study this week to encourage & spur me on!

     3. Be a faithful friend  


A. Be faithful to point people to God & scripture for their good & growth 

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.”

Proverbs‬ ‭27:6‬ ‭

B. Be faithful in my words 

-say what you mean, mean what you say

-always with love, grace & truth 

“Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭ ‭

C. Be faithful in the hard times 

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:17‬ ‭

Prov 3:3 Wear permanently a necklace with a 2-jeweled pendant: love & faithfulness

God is Good!

 Well I’m finally back. I have written SO many mental posts with updates and what’s God been teaching me!! Then when I finally get a minute to actually take them out of my mind and onto the screen, my mind bottlenecks and gets overwhelmed with all I want & need to write...it exhausts me & I end up concluding that I’m too tired and don’t have time to transcribe all that’s in my mind onto digital paper. But as I sit here alone at the Denver airport on a long layover en route to Atlanta to celebrate my sisters 50th, I’m starting! We both have September birthdays, hers being on the 10th. We decided to save the celebrating til my chemo was complete, hence the delayed timing of the trip. My younger sister who lives here in Colorado is on her way to meet me and we’ll fly this leg if the trip together! And my parents are traveling from Michigan to meet us as well! How crazy (& sad!) that we are all spread out across the country, coast to coast, north to south- we are so close r...

And Your mercy never ending ( “ The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” ‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬)  I give my song to You ( “ Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants...Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the coastl...
