(Psalms 18:2)

As Pastor Dix preached one of his last sermons of the year, he reminded the body of Christ about God’s daily faithfulness in 2006.  He said that if God chooses not to do anything else, “God has done enough as it is.”  Often times in our walk with God we become distracted by the enemy’s games, sometimes we’re so distracted that we lose trust in God and begin playing by the wrong rules of the game.  Pastor Dix said we should strive to have the same characteristics of the Apostle Paul who fought a good fight, finished the race and kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7).

In the grand scheme of things we have to persevere to a point of no return and know without a doubt that we are more than conquerors and we are already victorious!  God spoke in His Word that before He formed us in the womb He knew us (Jeremiah 1: 5).  The word further states that God who hath begun a good work in us will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).  

Pastor ended this dynamic sermon with a word that PASSAGE partners are familiar with:

Standing
On
All by yourself
Rock

Quote of the sermon:
