Presentation transcript:

A Future of Faithfulness James 4:15; Acts 20:25-32 The future can be both frightening and promising. As Christians, we must understand that no matter what happens, all well be well with us in the future if God is there; and He will be there if we remain faithful to Him.

A Future of Faithfulness Your Future Relationship with God Your future with God depends on YOUR Faith and YOUR faithfulness because God is Faithful! (2 Timothy 2:11-13; Heb. 10:23) Faith is a conviction of things not seen (Heb. 11:1) Future faithfulness begins with trusting God in the here and now (Heb. 11:7-8) A Future of Faithfulness

A Future of Faithfulness The Ephesians were Encouraged to do Two Things (Acts 20:25-32) WATCH! (1 John 4:1; 1 Thess. 5:21) REMEMBER! (1 Kings 2:2-3; John 14:26; 2 Peter 3:1-2; 1:15; 2:20-21) But the future of Ephesus was not a future of full faithfulness (Rev. 2:1-5) A Future of Faithfulness

A Future of Faithfulness Christians at Smyrna were to be “Faithful Until Death” (Rev. 2:8-10) History records that a Christian named Polycarp remained faithful. As he was being burned at the stake he prayed, "I thank you, O Lord, that you have deemed me worthy. Worthy this day and this hour to take up the cross of Christ with many martyrs."
