CENTRAL THOUGHT Forgetting those things which are behind, let us advance for the things which are ahead. HYMN: STAND UP STAND UP FOR JESUS TEXT: Philippians 3:1-21 INTRODUCTION The Christian life is a race. But many people today think that Christians are people who have achieved holiness, people that are beyond foulness. Indeed, children of God are beyond reproach in the sense that their sins are not only forgotten, yet they may err! The Christian is holy. He is clean and void of contamination. However, the Christian does not make a practice of sin (1 John 2:15-17; 3:2-10). While salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit at the time that the sinner accepts the Lord Jesus Christ, subsequent growth by the individual child of God is definitely not sudden. And like natural growth, one may have stunted growth or normal growth, depending on several factors. And particular experiences in the process of maturity differ. The child born to a family learns from how to breathe, to how to breastfeed, to how to drink other milk, solid foods and then eventually how to feed themselves. Finally, he learns how to fend for himself and for his family; a learning curve that should be normal for...

Text: 1 Samuel 23:1-12, 30:7-8; Numbers 27:1-7; Joshua 9:3-15 INTRODUCTION Anyone living in this world is confronted daily with the issues of life. Some of these issues may be normal experiences of human beings while some occur suddenly or unexpectedly. Whether usual or unusual, many of these issues of life require decisions, actions to be taken and choices to be made. It is at such moments that the limitation of man’s knowledge becomes evident. Certainly, the knowledge of man is grossly limited concerning the past, present and future of both himself and the situations around him. ...

Learn MoreChristian Conduct, Part 1, November 6th, 2016 Central Thought: The Christian is led by the Spirit of God to be a righteous model to the world in all things. Hymn: “When We Walk With the Lord” Text: Daniel 6:1-5; Matthew 5:13-16; Romans 12:10-21 Today, we live in a world where evil is fast taking over in virtually every sphere of the society, and to live righteously is becoming old-fashioned to many. Evil is getting wider acceptance , and portends to be the norm in many climes. People who profess Christianity are sometimes caught up in this web, trying to feel the action. Genuine believers are terribly embarrassed by the response of peers and colleagues to issues of Godliness. Despite all these, the child of God still remains the mirror, the salt, the light and the hope of the world that is speedily marching on the path of damnation. He must shine as light on a table at night, and a city set on a hill. His conduct and lifestyle is Holy Spirit-driven, and his focus is on eternity. Lesson Objectives: To identify the guiding principles of Christian conduct. To give scriptural examples of good conduct. To identify conducts that the Christian must...
