Developing Consistency

One of the hardest habits to develop in the Christian life is the habit of consistency.  Today Pastor Jerry will share some keys this week from John 15 on how we can move toward a consistent victorious walk with Jesus. 

 

John 15: 1-8 NIV

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

 

 

Romans 6:6 NIV

6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin

 

2 Peter 1: 3-4 NIV

3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

 

 

 

 

Philippians 2:13 NIV

13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

 

 

 

If You Want to Win the Battle of Consistency, Make Sure That the Next Thing You Do, You Do it in God’s Presence, and With His Help.
