Stand Firm
Scripture Texts: I Corinthians 16:13-14
Prayer:
Holy Father, give us eyes to see that we not be blind to your light and give us ears to hear that we not be deaf to your truth. By the power of your Holy Spirit in our midst enable us to comprehend the great mysteries of life and faith. Grant me grace to proclaim the greatness of your love and your glory.
Introduction.
Cadets, thank you for being here this morning, thank you for helping lead us in worship, and thank you for sharing what you have been doing with year. When is your pine wood derby? Who is going to win? Who is going to get the turtle trophy?
Your theme for Cadets this year is Stand Firm, and your theme verse for this year is a great one.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.
Short, simple, to the point and very practical. The Apostle Paul gives us five commands that challenge all of us to take our Christian faith more seriously and to live it in real, practical ways. We are going to look at each of those five commands this morning.
I am going to call them, wake up, stand up, man up, power up, in love.
