 SERMON _outline_

TEN  OF THE GREATEST THINGS in the BIBLE -

 JOHN 3. 16 - GOD's LOVE TOWARD US

THE RESURRECTION

ROMANS ch. 1: v. 1 -4 

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,

called to be an apostle, 

separated unto the 

Gospel of God, (which

had promised afore by the 

prophets 

in the Holy Scriptures.) 

Concerning His Son Jesus Christ

which was made of the seed of 

David according to the flesh, 

And declared to be the Son of God 

with power,

according to the 

spirit of Holiness, 

by the resurrection

from the dead: 

In this Paul declares

that the 

RESURRECTION 

is the 

reality 

of God's love

toward us.

Let us consider 

His Love.

JOHN 3 .16

FOR GOD SO LOVED 

THE WORLD, 

THAT HE GAVE 

HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN

SON, THAT 

WHOSOEVER

BELIEVETH IN HIM

SHOULD NOT PERISH,

BUT

HAVE EVERLASTING 

LIFE. 


CONSIDER THESE 10 

GREAT 

TRUTHS  

FOUND IN THE BIBLE, 

KJV - THE HOLY BIBLE

1.  GOD SO LOVED

IT IS GOD Who has

taken the initiative.

I John 4.19 

We love Him, because 

He first loved us.

2. GOD'S LOVE was

demonstrated to 

the WORLD 

His Love included all of us,

everyone.

3.  GOD'S LOVE in giving

the gift of HIS ONLY

BEGOTTEN SON

The SON of GOD was

from everlasting ...

 John 1.1  In the beginning 

was the Word, and 

the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God. 

John 1.2 The same was in the 

beginning with God. 

John 1.3 All things were made

by Him, and without Him

was not anything 

made

that was made.

John 1.4 

In Him was Life,

and the Life

was the Light of men. 

Think of it.

God the Father, who is 

Spirit always was 

with the Son

there never 

was a time

when 

they were apart.

The Holy Spirit 

is spoken of in 

God's Word the Bible

as "GOD." 

When Jesus was born in

Bethlehem, he did 

not begin then - 

He "was from everlasting" 


He Himself said in 

John 14.6 

I am the Way, the 

Truth, and 

the Life, 

No man cometh unto

the Father,

but by me.

When asked by Philip that

He show them the way, Jesus 

said "Have I been with you

so long a time with you , and yet

thou hast not known me, 

Philip?  he that hath seen

me hath seen the Father,

and how sayest thou then,

Show us the Father?

Believest thou not that 

I am in the Father,

and the Father in me?

the words that I speak 

unto you, I speak not

of myself, but the Father

that dwelleth in me, He 

doeth the works.

Believe me that I 

am in the Father,

and the Father in me: 

or else believe me for the

very works' sake. 

John 14. 6 -11

4. God's Love is the Greatest

Possession of any thing 

ever given to us.  HIS LOVE

is demonstrated from Genesis

to Revelation in that

His SON JESUS CHRIST is 

revealed in the Bible

from cover to cover.

EVERLASTING LIFE 

is the greatest possession

any one can receive.


It is available to
any 
who
will receive 
HIS GIFT OF HIS SON

5.  HIS LOVE IS FOR 

WHO SO EVER 

WILL BELIEVE

ON HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

John 1.12 

As many as received Him,

to them gave He power

to become the sons of God,

even to them that believe

on His name.

6. THE GREATEST SIMPLICITY

that GOD has given us - 

the SIMPLE 

ACT Of

BELIEVING

to trust 

to rely 

to lean upon

to put my confidence in 

SIMPLE 

FAITH

JOHN 12.48 -50

He that rejecteth me, and

receiveth not my words, hath 

one that judgeth him: the word

that I have spoken, the same

shall judge him in the last

day. For I have not spoken

of myself: but the Father

which sent me, he gave me

a commandment, what I should say,

and what I should speak.

And I know that His commandment

is life everlasting: whatsoever

I speak, therefore,

as the Father hath

said unto Me, so I speak.

John 8. 48 - 50


7. JESUS CHRIST has offered us

 

EVERLASTING LIFE -

 TO BELIEVE ON HIM IS THE GREATEST

DELIVERY 

of any promise

of any hope

of any prospect

IT IS THE SURE HOPE

IN A TROUBLED WORLD.

8.   THE GREATEST TRAGEDY

is to reject the SAVIOR

GOD"S GREATEST GIFT

is GIVEN

but He gives us a choice

He never pushes

He never chides

He only gives 

the C H O I C E 


9.  WE HAVE THEREFORE THE 

GREATEST NECESSITY 

TO  RECEIVE BY FAITH 

THROUGH GRACE

Underserved 

Unwanted

Disregarded

Disdained

YET 

GOD STILL OFFERS

A N Y O N E 

the Gift of Forgiveness

of Everlasting Life

IN HIS SON


 10.EVERLASTING

comes with

knowing

I as a sinner

need a Savior 

 God gives this 

FREE GIFT

that

when I accept the payment

of the BLOOD of JESUS

as my payment

for my sin 

debt

He not only gives 

me 

THE SPIRIT 

of JESUS 

to dwell in me.

I no longer 

am alive to sin, 

but alive to God.

I no longer 

am beholden

to 

my old sin nature

the world 

or the 

devil

for GOD 

IS 

NOW 

MY LORD AND SAVIOR

JESUS CHRIST

who 

when Love comes 

in 

fear 

goes out the door.

I John 5.4 

For whatsoever is born

of God overcometh the 

world: and this is 

the VICTORY

that overcometh

the world, 

even our 

F A I T H.

We now have

two natures,

the old and the new

The NEW is LIFE

Life living now

in Christ. 

The Greatest Gift ever given

GOD'S LOVE. 

Romans 3.23

For all have

sinned 

and come short

of the glory of God.

Romans 6.23

For the wages of sin

is death,

but the gift of God

is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ,

Our Lord. 

Isaiah 53.6 

All we like sheep have

gone astray:

we have turned

every one

to his own way;

and the LORD

hath laid on Him 

the iniquity of us all.

Luke 9.23, 24

And he said to them all,

If any man will come 

after me, let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross

daily, 

and follow me.

For whosoever

will save his life, shall

lose it: But whosoever will

lose his life for my sake shall

the same shall save it. 


I urge you to consider

that Jesus said

He is coming soon to 

take HIS BRIDE HOME

TO HIMSELF

and that means

every one who

names the Name

of Christ who truly

believes

will go to be 

with HIM...

ARE YOU READY? 

Rev. 22.19 

He which testifies

these things saith, Surely I come 

quickly.   Amen.  Even so,

come, Lord Jesus. 

Galatians 2.20 

I am crucified with Christ; 

nevertheless I live;

yet not I, 

but Christ,

liveth in me:

and I life which I now live

in the flesh, I live

by the faith

of the Son of God, 

who loved

me

and gave 

Himself for me.

Galatians 2.20

AT CHRIST'S BIRTH - Sermon "ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS" Sermon by W. H. Cash Jr (1927 - 2012) LILACLADY JUNEBUG2 - Walking By Faith-I Keep Climbing

                      


AT CHRIST'S BIRTH 

Onward, Christian Soldiers!

TEXT
Ephesians Chapter 6: v. 10 - 18 

10. Be strong in the Lord, 

and in the power

of His might. 

11. Put on the whole armor

of God, that ye

may be able 

to stand against 

the wiles of the devil.

12. For we wrestle not  

against flesh and blood, 

but against powers,, 

against the rulers

of this world, 

against spiritual

wickedness

in high places.

13. Wherefore take unto you

the whole armor

of God, 

that ye may be able

to withstand in the evil day, 

and having done all,

to stand.

14.  Stand therefore, 

having your loins girt about

with truth, and having

on the breastplate

of righteousness:

15.  And your feet shod with 

the preparation 

of the gospel of peace;

16.  Above all, taking 

the shield of faith, wherewith

ye shall be able to quench

all the fiery darts of 

the wicked.

17. And take the helmet

of salvation, and

the sword of the Spirit, 

which is 

the word of God. 

18. Praying always with all

prayer and supplication

in the Spirit, and watching

thereunto with all

perseverance 

and supplication for all saints.

Ephesians 6.10 - 18 KJV Holy Bible

Christmas program by

the children for

Little Church in the Valley

in Carson WA

The Church no longer exists, 

but the memory is 

bright and clear 

that it is 

Christians 

who must give out 

the Good News 

The Gospel of Christ

that He came to save 

Sinners, 

not the righteous,

and that in His 

Power and in 

His 

Authority 

we are to go forward

as SOLDIERS.

When we become His, and are saved, 

we are immediately thrust 

into a spiritual

battle.

Where before, we

had only 

one nature, sin, and

no power 

to break away from that.

When we become a 

Son of God,  that 

changed 

for ever.

For ever only 

has to be once 

said, for 

it is 

for ever.

Joshua 1. 8 

This book of the law 

shall not depart

out of thy mouth;

but thou shalt 

meditate therein

day and night, 

that thou mayest 

observe 

to do according to all

that is written therein: 

for then thou

shalt be 

pr0sperous.

Joshua 1. 8 

Jesus told the disciples 

"He that believeth in me, 

the works that I do

shall he do also;

because I go into my Father.

John 14. 12 

Christians Soldier

need to know these

facts which 

the Bible gives us.

I.  WE NEED TO KNOW 

OUR COMMANDER.

*We are to personally know our
commanding officer. 
*We are to receive our orders from
Him, and no one else. 
*We are to exactly do what he 
commands.

II Timothy 2.3 -4

Thou therefore endure 
hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ. No man that 
warreth entangleth himself 
with the affairs of this life,
that he may please
him who hath chosen him
to be a soldier.

Philippians 3.10 - 11

That I may know Him
and the power of His 
resurrection, and the 
fellowship of His 
sufferings, being made 
conformable unto 
His death; if by
any means I might also
attain unto the 
resurrection 
of the dead. 

I John 5. 10 - 13 

10. He that believeth on the 
Son of God hath the 
witness in himself: he that
believeth not God hath
made him a liar;  
because he believeth not
the record that God
gave of his Son.
11. And this is the record, 
that God hath given to us
eternal life, and
this life is in
His Son. 
12. He that hath the Son 
hath life; and
he that hath not the 
Son of God 
hath not life.
13. These things have I 
written unto you that 
believe on 
the name of the 
Son of God,
that ye may 
know that ye have 
eternal life, 
and that ye may 
believe 
on the name of 
the Son of God. 

Psalm 27.8  

When thou saidest, seek
ye my face; my
heart said unto thee,,
Thy face, O Lord,, will I
seek.

 Psalm 63. 1 

O God: Thou art my God;
early will I seek Thee:
my soul thirsteth for thee.

I Timothy 6.12 

Fight the good fight
of faith, lay hold on
eternal life: whereunto thou 
art also called, and
hast professed a good
profession before
many witnesses.

Paul declared in his
letter to Timothy:
II Timothy 4.7

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished
my course,
I have kept the faith.

Jeremiah 7.23 

But this thing I 
commanded them, 
saying,
Obey my voice,
and I will be your God,
and  you
shall be my people: 
and ye shall walk ye in
all the ways that
I have commanded you,
that it may be well unto you.

Acts 5.29 

Then Peter and the other
apostles answered and
said, We 
ought to obey God 
rather
than men.

II.  WE OUGHT TO KNOW
THE ENEMIES.

*Our primary enemy is: 
*the world 
*the flesh
*the devil 

I John 2. 15,16

15.  Love not the world, neither
the things that are 
in the world. If any
man love the world,
the love of the Father
is not in him.  
16. For all that is in 
the world, 
the list of the flesh,
and the list of 
the eyes,
and the pride
of life, is
not of the 
Father, but is 
of the world.

Romans 8.8 

So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God.

Ephesians 2.3

Among whom also we all
has our conversation in
times past in the lusts
of our flesh, 
fulfilling the desire of 
the flesh and of the mind;
and were by
nature
the children of wrath,
even as others.

I Thessalonians 2.18
Wherefore we would
have come unto you, 
even I, Paul, once 
and again; but
Satan hindered us. 

*Other enemies Believers may
have to fight are: 
*Ignorance 
*Selfishness -need for
cooperation and teamwork
*Pride - basic sin .
*Doubt
*Fear - afraid of the unknown

II Timothy 2.15 

Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman
that needeth not
to be ashamed, 
rightly 
dividing 
the word of truth. 

II Timothy 1.6 

For God has not give us 
the Spirit of fear;
but of 
power, and of
love,
and of a sound 
mind. 

I John 4.18 

There is no fear in love;
but perfect love 
casteth out 
fear: 
because fear
hath
torment. He
that feareth is
not made perfect
in love. 

I John 4.19

We love Him, because He first loved us. 

III.  WE ARE TO KNOW
HOW TO RECRUIT SOLDIERS,  

*We are to seek to reach out 
to others with the 
Gospel of Christ.
*We are to give each 
person a responsiblity
to keep him busy.  

John 12.26 
If any man serve me, 

let him follow Me, and 
where I am, there shall
also my servant be: 
if any serve me, him
will my Father honour.  


IV.  WE ARE TO KNOW HOW 
TO TRAIN OUR SOLDIERS.

*We each need to be trained in a 
practical knowledge of the Bible.
*We must know how to use
God's Word in leading
another person to Christ.
*We must know how to use
God's Word to help others 
as well as ourselves in
overcoming 
difficulties.

II Timothy 2. 15 

Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman
that needeth not
to be ashamed, 
rightly
dividing 
the word of truth. 

II Timothy 3.16, 17 

All scripture is given 
by inspiration of God, 
and is 
profitable 
for doctrine, 
for correction,
for instruction
in righteousness: 
that the man of 
God may be perfect,
throughly furnished
unto all good
works. 

Romans 10.17 

Faith cometh by 
hearing, 
and hearing 
by the word of God.

V.  WE MUST KNOW HOW TO PLAN
 FOR INVASION.

*Our conduct must be pleasing 
unto the Lord.
*We must be faithful and steadfast 
with our purpose and 
objective in mind. 
*we must not be terrified  or
upset by our adversaries.
*Look forward . 
Press on.  Keep on keeping on.
Do not give out, give in, or give up.


Philippians 1.27 - 30  

v.27. Only let your conversation
be as it becometh the 
Gospel of Christ: 
that whether I come
and see you, 
or else be absent,
I may hear of your affairs,
that ye stand fast
in one spirit,
with one
mind
striving together
for the 
faith of the gospel. 
v.28.   And in nothing
terrified by your
adversaries:
which to them 
is an evident
token of perdition,
but to you
of salvation,
and that of God. 
v.29.  For unto you it
is given in the behalf
of Christ, not
only to believe on him,
but also to 
suffer for His sake;
v.30.   Having the same 
conflict which ye
saw in me and
now hear to 
be in me. 

Philippians 3. 12 - 14

v.12. Not as though 
I had attained, either
were already 
perfect: 
but I follow 
after,
if that I may
apprehend
that for which
also I am apprehended
of Christ Jesus.
v.13.  Brethren,
I count not myself
to have
apprehended:
but this one thing
I do, forgetting
those things
which are behind
and 
reaching forth
unto
those things
which are before, 
v.14.  I press 
toward the mark 
for
the prize
of the high calling
of God 
in Christ Jesus. 


Since 2015 here in Blaine, WA
I have been blessed
to still be here.
May 2026 be a blessed year
for you.
Remember
GOD's WORD rightly
divided,
will never
contradict
itself.
Just keep reading.

                WHAT IS A  
                  CHRISTIAN LIKE?  

            Sermon by Wm Henry Cash,Jr 
          Nov 25 , 1962 
          Westside Baptist Church 
            Lakeview OR 

 

          TEXT  

II Timothy 2: 1 - 26 
     Ephesians 4.10 - 18 

          




I.  A CHRISTIAN is FIRST A  S O N. 


   

                                     II Timothy 2. v.1. 

                          Thou, therefore,                          

          my son, be strong 

in the grace 

     that is  in Christ Jesus.

v.2.  And the things  

         that thou hast heard of me 

      among many witnesses,

     the lsame commit 

    thou to faithful men who

       shall be able to  

          teach others also. 


        A. He is to be strong in grace.  


         Hebrews 4.16  Let us therefore  

        come boldly unto the throne  

        of grace that we may obtai 

          mercy, and find grace to help 

          in time of need. 

           II Peter 3.18  But grow in grace, 

            and in the knowledge of our    

            Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

             To Him be glory both     

               now and for ever. Amen. 


       B.Grace goes with Sonship,
          The Law goes with service.  

  

          John 1.17  For the Law was  

         given by Moses,  but grace  

           and truth came by Jesus Christ.  


      C. He is to communicate this grace to others.  


        I Timothy 1.18  

           This charge  I commit unto thee,  

          son Timothy,  which went before  

          thee,accordin  to the prophecies  

           that though mightest war  

                       a good warfare.  


       II. He Is A GOOD SOLDIER.    


 II Timothy 2.3,4    

         v.3 Thou therefore endure  

              hardness as a good soldier  

               of Jesus Christ. 

            v.4  No man that warreth 

                Entagleth himself with the  

                  affairs of this life,  

           that he may please him who hath  

               chosen him to be a soldier.  

          Ephesians 6.10 - 18  

               v.10. Finally, my brethren,  

             be strong in the Lord, 

               and in the power of his might. 

            v.11 Put on the whole armor of God, 

               that ye may be able to stand  

              against the  

              wiles of the devil.  

             v.12 For we wrestle not  

             against flesh and blood,  

            but against principalities,   

               against powers, against 

                the ruler of the darkness  

        of this world, against spiritual  

           wickedness in high places.  

      13. Wherefore take unto you  

          the whole armor of God,  

           that he may be able to withstand 

            in the evil day, and having  

            done all, to stand.


v. 14 Stand, therefore,

  having your loins

 girt with truth,

                and having on the               

  breastplate of 
righteousness:

v.15  And your feet shod
with the preparation  

          of the gospel of peace,  


         v.16 Above all, taking the  

         shield of faith, 

     wherewith ye  shall be 

           able to  quench 

           all the fiery darts 

                  of the wicked.  

           v.17 And take the helmet 

                         of salvation ,  

               and the sword of  the Spirit, 

                which is the Word of God.  

                         v.18 Praying                    

                always with all prayer  

               and supplication 

             in the Spirit, 

             and watching  

               thereunto with all  

                 perseverance and 

                     supplication for all saints

    

                 A. He is to endure hardness     

    

          II Timothy 4.5  But watch 

               thou in all things,

                endure afflictions,  

                    do the work of an 

               evangelist, make full  

                  proof of your ministry. 


                  B. He is to avoid worldly 

 

                    entanglements. 

 

              I Corinthians 9. v.26,27  

              v,26. And every man  

               that striveth

                  for the mastery is  

                   temperate in all things.  

                  Now they do it to obtain a  

                    corruptible crown,  

                    but we an in 

                      v.27. But I keep under my body, 

             and bring it 

            into subjection: lest that  

                                    by any means, when I                                   have  preached to others,

             I myself should be a  

         castaway.  


           III.  HE IS AN ATHLETE.


  II Timothy 2.5 And if a 

    man also strive

          for masteries, 

                       is he not crowned,  

                        except he strive lawfully.  


                    A.   He is running in a race,  

                     or, striving in a contest.  

 

 

                    Philippians 3.12 - 14.  

                    v.12. Wherefore, my beloved, as  

                         ye have always obeyed,  

                         not as in my presence only, but  ,  

                            now much more in my absence,  

                            work out your own  

                                     salvation  

                                      with fear and trembling.  

                        v.13 For it is God  

                          which worketh in you  

                          both to will and to do

                            of his good pleasure.   

                        v.14.  Do all things without  

                         murmurings and  

                          disputings 


   
                          

                     B. He is to run with patience

looking to Jesus.

           Hebrews 12.1,2. 


                     v.1  Wherefore seeing we 

also are 

                          compassed about  

                            with so great 

                                 a cloud of witnesses,              

                             let us lay aside

       every weight, 

                                 and the sin whic 

                                            so easily beset us,  

                     and let us run  

                                  with patience  

                                   the race that is set

                            before us,  


       v.2  Looking unto  

                      Jesus the author  

                        and finisher  

                                   of our faith, who 

                              for the joy that was set  

                                                   before him endured the                                         cross, despising 

                          the shame, 

                        and is set down at 

                          the right hand 

                                          of the throne of God. 


        IV. HE IS AN HUSBANDMAN -


                        - A FARMER   


                 A.  He must be a partaker of the fruits. 


 

                          II Timothy 2.6  The husbandman

           that laboureth 

                                   must be first partaker 

                              of the fruits.  


             II Timothy 2.7 Consider 

     what I say, 

                                  and the Lord give thee 

                                  understanding

                 in all things. 

        Remember  

                          that Jesus Christ  

                                                    of the seed of David  

       was raised

                     from the dead  

                                                   according to my gospel.   

      

                          B. He is a tiller of soils, 


                              a hard worker.    


                        Galatians 6: 7,8 Be not deceived:  

                 God is not mocked: 

                                             for whatsoever a man

                            soweth that shall 

                                     he also reap. 

                 For he that soweth 

                to his flesh 

                                       shall of the flesh

                                     reap  corruption; 

                   but he that soweth 

                                to the Spirit shall of 

                                 the Spirit 

                                               reap everlasting life.  


 C. He is willing 


                     to endure hardness.


                II Tim. 2.9,10 Wherein

         I suffer trouble, 

                               as an evildoer,  

                                               even  unto bonds,  

                 but the word of God 

              is not  

                             bound.  

               Therefore I endure 

                             all things for 

                                           the elect's sakes, 

that they 

                                           may also obtain the  

                                         salvation which' 

                                                     is in Christ Jesus 

                                       with eternal glory. 


             Ephesians 6.19,20 And for

                      me, that utterance may

                                       be given unto me,

                            that  I may open my 

                      mouth boldly, to make

                           known the mystery 

                             of the gospel,

for which         

                   I am an ambassador

                                  in  bonds: that therein 

                       may speak boldly, 

                        as I ought to speak. 


V. HE IS A WORKMAN. 


                   2 Timothy 2.15   Study 

to shew  

                             thyself approved 

                 unto God,     

                                    a workman that

needeth not  

                           to be ashamed,

           rightly dividing

                           the word of truth.  

                                            

               A. He will study that 

 

                                    he will be approved before God. 


 

                  II Peter 1.10   Wherefore

                the rather,  

                                               brethren, give diligence  

                                to make your calling 

                     and election sure:  

                     for

              if you do these things 

                                       ye shall never fall.   







  B. He is a workman who studies


God's Word  knowing it is God's Truth.


Psalm 119.105
They word is a lamp unto
my feet, and a 
light 
unto my path.

C.  He will rightfully divide God's Word.


      D.  He will shun unnecessary discussion.  



        II Timothy 2.16   But shun profane 

   and vain babblings: 

                     for they will increase unto  

                      more ungodliness.   



       E.  He will be honorable 


                 before the Lord.


Titus 2.11 - 13-  For the grace
of God that bringeth
salvation hath
appeared to all men, 
teaching us that, 
denying ungodliness
and worldly lusts,
we should live
soberly,
righteously, 
and godly in 
this present world;
Looking for that 
blessed hope,
and the glorious
appearing of the great 
God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

             

   VI.  THE CHRISTIAN IS A VESSEL 



2 Timothy 2.20 - 23. 

v.20. But in a great


 house there are  not only vessels 

                                    of gold and silver but also 

              of wood and of earth;  

                                     and some to honor, 

                 and some to dishonor. 

                         v. 21. If a man therefore purge 

                            himself from these,  

                                    he shall be a vessel unto honor, 

                             sanctified, and meet 

                                      for the Master's use, 

                            and prepared unto every  

                                        good work.    

                                   22. Flee also youthful lusts: 

                                      but follow righteousness,  

                                     faith, charity, peace, with them  

                       that call of the Lord 

                           out of a pure heart.   

                                     23. But foolish and unlearned  

                    questions  

                                   avoid, knowing  

                                      that they do gender  

                                strifes.   

                               A. He will be cleansed, ready  

                      for service, separated unto 

                                     the Lord.    

                                          II Timothy 3.17   That the man  

                      of God  

                                      may be throughly 

                                       furnished  

                                                    unto all good works.  

                      II Corinthians 6.14 - 18   

                       v.14 Be ye not unequally yoked 

                  together  

                                       with unbelievers: 

                                  for what fellowship 

                                   hath righteousness  

                                            with unrighteousness?   

                        and what communion 

                                      hath light with darkness? 

                                                          v.15  And what concord hath   

                                                           the whole armor of God,  

         that he may be able to withstand 

                  in the evil day, and having  

  done all, to stand.  v. 14 Stand, 

                       therefore, having your loins girt about 

                                            with truth, and                                           

 having on the 

 breastplate of righteousness:  

v.15 And your 

          feet shod with the preparation  

of the gospel of peace,  

                    v.16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, 

 wherewith ye  shall be able to  quench 

  all the fiery darts 

 of the wicked.  

           v.17 And take the helmet 

 of salvation ,  

   and the sword of  the Spirit, 

                which is the Word of God.  

v.18 Praying                    

                              always with all prayer  

and supplication 

 in the Spirit, 

                                    and watching  

thereunto with all  

              perseverance and 

                     supplication for all saints.     

                       A. He is to endure hardness  

                          II Timothy 4.5  But watch thou in  

                      all things, endure afflictions,  

                    do the work of an evangelist,  

      make full  

               proof of your ministry. 

                         B. He is to avoid worldly  

                       entanglements.  

                   I Corinthians 9. v.26,27  

              v,26. And every man  

that  

                    striveth for the mastery is  

                     temperate in all things.  

                      Now they do it to obtain a  

                       corruptible crown,  

                       but we an incorruptible.   

                                      v.27. But I keep under my body, 

and bring it 

                                       into subjection: lest that  

                  by any means, when I  

                                        have  preached to others, 

             I myself should be a  


                   VII.    HE IS AN ATHLETE.    


                II Timothy 2.5   And if a man also  

               strive for masteries, yet  

                                    is he not crowned,  

                         except he strive lawfully.  

                          A.   He is running in a race,  

                       or, striving in a contest.  

                                   Philippians 3.12 - 14.  

                    v.12. Wherefore, my beloved, as  

                                    ye have always obeyed,  

                     not as in my presence only, but  ,  

                                        now much more in my absence, 

work out your own  

      salvation  

                           with fear and trembling.  

v.13 For it is God  

                                       which worketh in you  

                    both to will and to do of his good 

                          pleasure.   

          v.14.  Do all things without  

                         murmurings and  

                               disputings 

                            B. He is to run with patience, 

      looking to Jesus. 

           Hebrews 12.1,2. 

                           v.1  Wherefore seeing we also are 

                                          compassed about  

                                 with so great a cloud of witnesses,  

                                           let us lay aside every weight, 

and the sin which  

                                            so easily beset us,  

      and let us run  

                         with patience  

                       the race that is set before us,  

v.2  Looking unto  

                       Jesus the author  

                        and finisher  

                                   of our faith, who 

                                  for the joy that was set  

                    before him endured the  

                                             cross, despising the shame,

 laboureth 

                                   must be first partaker 

                              of the fruits.  

                                            II Timothy 2.7   Consider what I say, 

                                         and the Lord give thee

God is not mocked: 

                                for whatsoever a man soweth,  

                          that shall he also reap. 

                                For he that soweth to his flesh 

                     shall of the flesh reap 

                                corruption; 

                      but he that soweth
