Devotional Sermon #97: ARE YOU A RESPONSIBLE PERSON? - Our greatest sermons of all time

This is a very important topic, in my view. I am going to focus on the need for each one of us to always act responsibly and I am glad that you've spared some time to read this sermon. I believe that people were created to be responsible citizens in their various communities. I am convinced that God never intended that people would act irresponsibly, for whatever reason. God is a God of integrity, He's a God of excellence, and nobody could grow into a mature child of God if they continued to act irresponsibly.

Devotional Sermon #96: BEING A FRIEND OF GOD LIKE ABRAHAM - Short devotions for adults

There is this thought that keeps coming to my mind. The thought is provoked whenever I read the following verse: “And the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,’ and he was called God's friend” (James 2 Verse 23, NIV). Abraham was called God’s friend; what more could he have yearned for! How was this possible? It was because Abraham believed God. How marvelous and instructive! This is the way I look at it: to please God, we need not just to believe Him, but also to take any necessary action consistent with what He instructs us. Abraham believed whatever God told him. Not only that, Abraham also acted on God's instructions according to the exact will of Him who instructed him. Now that's a real friend, if you ask me. Are you ready and willing to conduct your Christian life likewise? When God said, “Leave this place,” Abraham left the place. When God said, “Give Me your son,” Abraham 'gave' Him his son.
