Renewing Discipleship: Hearing and Doing the Word

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: Renew: Returning to the Heartbeat of HopeScripture: Matthew 7:24-29 “The greatest single secret of spiritual development lies in personal, humble, believing, obedient response to the Word of God. It is as God speaks to us through his Word that his warnings can bring us to conviction of sin, his promises to assurance of forgiveness, and his commands to amendment of life. We live and grow by his Word.” John Stott “Our bodies, our pleasures, our fears, our fatigue, our friendships, our fights – these are in fact the stuff of our formation and transformation into the frail but infinitely dignified creatures we were meant to be and shall become. Our moments of exaltation and our stifled yawns – somehow they go together, part of the whole life that we were meant to offer to God day by day, as well as Sunday by Sunday, the life that God has taken into his own life. It is the life that Christ himself assumed, and thus rescued and redeemed.” Andy Crouch, in Liturgy of the Ordinary, by Tish Harrison Warren “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” Jesus, Luke 6:46The post Renewing Discipleship: Hearing and Doing the Word first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
