"Retain, Rest, Remain"
Length Approximately: 00:44:10
Philippians 1:1-8
--
May 17 was Confirmation Sunday at Helmar. Pastor Coyle made special application of Philippians 1:1-8 to the Confirmands. They were exhorted to "retain" a heart receptive to the truths of God's Word, in accordance with their testimonies. They were encouraged to "rest" in God's faithfulness, by which He promises to finish the good work He began in them; their confidence must be in His faithfulness rather than their own. And they were called upon to "remain" in the congregation, which is essential since a genuine work of God in a person's heart will produce a love for, and loyalty to, the congregation.
