6/19/2022 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." - Daniel 3:16-18

Worship Leader: Mark Estes
Speaker: Tyler Estes
Title: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
Scripture: Daniel 3:16-18

1. Their principled resolve. Note the timing of their resolve. The matter is already settled. They were resolved to worship only God long before the statue was built.

2. Their trust in God. First, they know the power of God. Second, they know the salvation of God. Third, they know their service to their true King

3. Their submission to God's sovereignty. Duties, not events

4. The outcome: God saved them. They still went into the flames. God went with them into the flames

5. "How do I become firm in my resolve?" Read the Bible frequently. Make church a priority/. Do these things through faith in Christ

1/2/2022 Worship Service and Sermon: Our Need for Self-Control - Galatians 5:22-23

Join us for worship!

1/2/2022 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA.

Worship Leader: Mark Estes
Speaker: Rich Goswiller
Title: Our Need for Self-Control
Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

"But the fruit of the Spirit is live, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

#selfcontrol #spiritualfruit

Notes:

The fruit of the Spirit is produced by God the Holy Spirit, not by us as His people.

Branches (believers) have no ability to produce the fruit; they just bear the fruit that the vine (Jesus Christ) is producing through the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit doesn't just give us self-control with the snap of His fingers; He develops it in relation to other qualities, primarily the wisdom that comes from Him.

In the moment, at a crossroads--heavenly wisdom directs--self-control settles the matter.
