Sermon on 1 Samuel 2:18-20,26, Colossians 3:12-17 and Luke 2:41-52
In this sermon, we reflect on the themes of recognition and affirmation in the Christian life. Through the stories of Samuel, Jesus, and Paul’s teachings in Colossians, we learn how God affirms those who walk in faith and obedience.
Key Takeaways:
- God’s affirmation comes through faithfulness – Samuel grew in favor with God and people as he faithfully served.
- Spiritual growth requires humility – We are called to clothe ourselves with kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
- Jesus as our example – Even as a child, Jesus demonstrated wisdom and obedience, growing in favor with God.
- Living a life worthy of God’s calling – Our actions, words, and attitudes should reflect Christ in all that we do.
Reflection: How do you seek God’s affirmation in your life? Are you growing in faith, humility, and service as Samuel and Jesus did?
