Taking The Land - CFM Sermon Podcast

What do you do when your circumstances tell you there is no future?
Pastor Wayman Mitchell preaches from Jeremiah 29:11 about one of the most powerful forces in the Christian life: hope.
Israel was living in exile. Their circumstances looked permanent. Yet God spoke:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” — Jeremiah 29:11Your present circumstances do not get the final word. Failure does not get the final word. Sin does not get the final word. Discouragement does not get the final word. God is still working.

People will get on your nerves. They will misunderstand you, disappoint you, irritate you, and sometimes flat-out offend you.
The question is: what happens inside YOUR heart when they do?
Preaching from Romans 15:5, this message challenges Christians to take a spiritual “fit check.” Scripture calls us to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness, and love. When those things disappear, our relationships aren't the only thing that suffers. Our effectiveness for God suffers too.
Unity does not mean everybody has the same personality or never disagrees. It means we refuse to let offense, pride, insecurity, competition, and bitterness destroy what God is trying to accomplish through His people.
In this message:
Why your relationships reveal what's happening spiritually
How offense can slowly change your heart
Why talented people can still destroy team chemistry
The connection between unity and spiritual strength
How correction keeps us spiritually “in tune”
Why sometimes you simply have to be the bigger person

Using the transition from David to Solomon, the recommissioning of the USS Wisconsin, and the unforgettable picture of walking an old dog and a young pup, this message shows why every Christian must learn both to receive an inheritance and prepare one for somebody else.

The Great Commission is bigger than one pastor, one ministry, one church, or one generation. Older believers possess wisdom that must be transferred. Younger believers possess strength and energy that must be directed. Revival continues when both generations walk together in humility, trust, and unity.
