Unstoppable

October 5, 2019

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that life is a series of challenges. Some challenges are not so horrific, like a pop-quiz in Biology, or forgetting that you had a homework assignment due. Other challenges, on the other hand, can be quite difficult. And being a Christ-follower certainly does not exempt us from life’s myriad of challenges. If anything, being Christian increases the challenges we face because we are swimming against the cultural current that condones certain practices the Bible calls “sin.” In fact, the Bible identifies three specific areas from which challenges can arise. These challenge-sources include the world, the flesh, and the Devil.

Now that I’ve depressed you by reminding you about how hard life can be, let me encourage you with these words; God has made it possible for us to overcome every challenge we face, and in fact, to be unstoppable in life. This message comes through in various places in Scripture. Consider these few verses from the Bible that support the idea that we can be unstoppable in the world.

“In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer,
I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

1 John 4:4

“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him
who loved us.”

Romans 8:37

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Philippians 4:13

These verses remind us that we don’t need to fear or be overwhelmed by what comes our way. Whatever we face, Christ within us is greater and more powerful than any challenge or obstacle in our way.

Being an unstoppable Christian will be the topic of a new sermon series we are kicking-off this Sunday at The Bridge. Be sure to join us and be prepared to be encouraged!

See you on Sundays in October!
