Make Every Effort by Connect Church

Pastor Taylor BradburyGrace-based effort is the way of the Christian life.

Because of the surpassing grace of Jesus Christ, because He alone is worthy of all glory, because Christ is building His Church from every tribe, tongue, and nation on earth, and because He has torn down the wall of hostility between God and man - we, His people, are called to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

2 Peter series message 3Text: II Peter 1:5-8Inspired by our sermon passage, my abiding prayer for our six kids is that they would know Christ and not be ineffective or unfruitful in their relationship with Him. Against the backdrop of eternity, Peter reveals the path to Christian maturity and confident Christian living.

In this message, David reads from 2 Peter 1:3-9, and tells us about how we are to work in order to increase our Faith as the Lord has commanded.

In this message, David reads from 2 Peter 1:3-9, and tells us about how we are to work in order to increase our Faith as the Lord has commanded.

Jesus has granted us everything needed to become like Him, but we must put effort into the process of transformation as well.  The very first principle we see in this passage is that: Becoming partakers of the divine nature; of possessing the character, values, attitudes and actions of Jesus Himself, requires serious effort on our part.

In today's episode, we will dive into the devotional for day 74 of my journal Christ Transforms Me. This is a 90-day journal filled with daily devotionals, scripture, prayer, and gratitude. I first published this journal in January of 2022 when God had put it on my heart to create this journal. Throughout a year of praying, reflecting, and letting God and the Holy Spirit give me all the words, scriptures, and everything for this journal, I published it in January 2022. So each day for the next 16 days, I will post an episode on here going over this journal.   Enjoy!   This episode's show notes: https://www.faithfuelsmyfire.com/post/why-should-we-make-every-effort-to-enter-through-the-narrow-door-daily-devotionals-in-christ-trans If you want to check out previous Bible studies, click here To Purchase my "Christ Transforms Me" Journal, click here   Email me: faithfuelsmyfire@gmail.com Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/486483515603028/ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmBsSKktGU_8WHVNIxhFuzg The Bible App that I use: http://bible.com/app Instagram: @_lorenacamille_ Never Forget to Choose Faith Over Fear, -Lorena Camille

How does God transform us into the likeness of Jesus? In lots of ways, but He also uses our own efforts. As Peter writes, "Make every effort to add to your faith goodness." But what kind of effort does it take to grow in Christ? And what if we're not exactly the hard workers God wants us to be?

2 Peter 1:5-11 - Make Every Effort

Going Deeper: Make Every Effort to Enter That Rest

Going Deeper: Make Every Effort to Enter That Rest

“Make every effort,” the writer of Hebrews says, “to be holy.” But wait a minute. We can't be holy in our own effort. Yes, the Holy Spirit is the only One who can make us like Christ. But we aren't to sit back and say, “It's a done deal.” Like the apostle Paul, we should “press on” to be more like Jesus every day.

Our striving to live godly lives is not in vain because Christ is risen!  (This sermon was given at our outdoor Easter Service at Blowing Springs in Bella Vista, Arkansas) 

626 Make Every Effort to Live in Peace With Everyone and to Be Holy,  A Guided Christian Meditation on Hebrews 12:14-17 with the Recenter With Christ app  The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in your life and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. Get into a place where you can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tensing or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation NIV 14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. 16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. 17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done. NKJV 14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any fornicator or [f]profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears. Meditation on Scripture: In each age there are difficulties of living the gospel. In our times there is a great deal of pressure to accept all manner of things in contrast to the Gospel. Equally there is a strong pressure to violently oppose and create enemies with those who don't hold to the ways of the Lord. Here Paul is recommending us to strive for peace with everyone, yet not compromise on the Holiness of the Lord. We do not choose that holiness. We do not adjudicate God's morality. Equally it is important that the Love of Christ become the means whereby we gain as much influence as possible to help others live the ways of God. Not out of scorn or wrath, but out of the charity of God.  How grateful we are for the forgiveness God has offered to us and what a special blessing it is to have that peace in our lives. No matter our past, Gods can and does cleanse us of sin. He cleares the conviction we deserve. Having received such a blessing and assisted by such a powerful God how can we possibly have an enemy in anyone who has such forgiveness available to them. We can trust that God will destroy the darkness. In God's holiness we remain protected in Love. Esau, the brother of Jacob, missed out on a profound birthright. The Old testament refers to Jehovah as the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. The saying was not the God of Abraham, Issac, and Esau. Such was Esau's rejection. Yet later Jacob sought peace with Esau and did not attempt to make him a perpetual enemy. The invitation we have is to receive Christ's name upon our heart and then to embody the loving peace of Christ in this world, even as greater moral darkness invades this world and in so doing is how we see God in our lives. . God knows how this story ends and has told us again and again to seek His light and holiness and we will overcome through the merits of Jesus Christ. As you feel Christ's love, pour that love out on others.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

Going to church and learning what the Bible says is important - but it isn't the same as actively living out the truth that we believe. The Bible teaches that the key to growing in godliness is not about knowing more, but about excersizing our faith by being obedient (2 Peter 1:3-11). If you have the desire to grow your faith and deepen your relationship with God, this sermon from 2nd Peter is for you.
