A CERTAIN WOMAN

ACTS 16:1-5

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. BE CERTAIN [v. 1]

1. Be Certain You are a Believer in God’s Way [v. 1, John 20:27]

- Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

2. Be Certain You are a Believer in God’s Word

[v. 1, Rm. 10:17, 1 Th. 2:13]

-So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

- For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

3. Be Certain You are a Believer in God’s Will

[v. 2-5, Acts 21:14, Eph. 5:17, 1 Th. 4:3-4]

-And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

-Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

-For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

 

II. HAVE AN UNFEIGNED FAITH

1. Have a Sincere Faith [2 Tm. 1:5]

2. Have a Shareable Faith [1 Tm. 1:3-5]

As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

3. Have a Solid Faith [2 Tm. 1:18-19]

 

III. BE A BIBLE TEACHER [2 Tm. 3:15]

1. Teach the Bible Plain [2 Tm. 3:14-15a]

2. Teach the Bible Person [2 Tm. 3:15]

3. Teach the Bible Plan [2 Tm. 3:14-17]
