In today’s episode, I teach from several Verses that teach us how to Keep a Strong Faith. We need a strong faith to make sure we don’t abandon that faith.

We had a big snow in East Tennessee last week. In fact, it’s still laying around today. While I was driving to work, I noticed cars abandoned on the side of the road. With the big snow and ice, some cars were not able to navigate the road, or make it up hills. So, the owners of the cars had to abandon them to make it home. Sometimes, our faith isn’t strong enough to get us along the path of life. As a result, some people abandon their faith and seek their own ways.

Today we look at several passage of Scripture in search for the answer to Is Bible Study Important? I hope, after you listen to the passages presented, you will agree with me that Bible Study is important to us today.

Joshua 1:6-9. In His instructions to Joshua, God gives us the recipe for true success. By following God’s instructions, Joshua would accomplish the mission God gave him. If he failed to follow His instructions, then Joshua would have failed at his mission. Are you following the directions?

Deuteronomy 31:8. In these verses, Moses is giving Joshua promises to count on. These are promises that will never be broken, the very promises of God. And, I believe, are as relevant to us today as they were to Joshua.

Genesis 28:15-16. Jacob realized the presence of the Lord was in the place he was, and he declared I Knew It Not. The Lord is with you, even in places you don’t expect Him to be at.

The Model Prayer Part 3 - Jesus teaches us how to pray

The Model Prayer part 2, Matthew 6, learn what Jesus says about how to pray.

Matthew 6 - The Model Prayer, a call to getting back to the prayer closet and praying biblicaly.

James 2:14. Your works prove your claim of faith. We are not proclaiming a works based salvation. But I am teaching that your works prove the faith you claim to have. No, those works will not save you, but they will prove your salvation by faith.

1 Peter 5:10. If anyone would know, Peter would know that God rebuilds what the devil tore down. We see in Peter’s life a rollercoaster faith. Much like ours, it had it’s ups and downs. Yet, through it all, Peter walked with Jesus.

John 12:27-28. In these verses, we see a trial prayer that we can use when we go through time of testing. Jesus makes an astonishing statement here, then reveals the proper prayer we should use in our trials.

Acts 5:28-33. It’s important in life to take wise counsel. The religious leaders in their time was so furious with Peter and John that they sought to kill them. Yet, one of their own, cautioned against it and provided the leaders wise counsel that they agreed with.

Acts 4:14-20. Can people tell that you had been with Jesus? Peter and John displayed great boldness during their encounter with the religious leaders, despite their threats. How can we be bold in our world today?

Acts 4:13. Can people tell that you have been with Jesus? The religious leaders of their time noted that Peter and John had been with Jesus. If you were on trial today, is there enough evidence that you had been with Jesus to convict you?

Mark 6:1-8. None of us like to hear the word “Rejected.”It points to being alone, loneliness, not following. In His hometown, Jesus was rejected, because the people failed to see Jesus for who He is.

2 Peter 3:14-18. We must make sure we do not fall victim to false teachers and false doctrines. Peter warns us, in these verses, that people will twist around the Bible leading to their destruction. The only way to make sure we do not fall victim is to grow in the knowledge of Jesus, by studying, reading and applying the Bible to our lives.
