| Vessels Of Honor – Becoming The Habitation of Christ – Part 4

2 Tim 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  NKJV

2 Tim 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.  NKJV

If we read the passages above in context we see Paul is instructing Timothy to watch out for false teachers.  He is admonishing him to pay attention to the Scriptures and to make sure what he is believing and what he is teaching is founded on Scripture.  Doing this causes Christians to purge themselves of the world and lies of the enemy.  This process causes us to develop into vessels that are, “sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.”

Here at Faith Family Church, we are committed to helping believers develop into disciples.  Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 that we were to make disciples of all nations.  God has designed that every believer grows to the place where they are a vessel for honor.

This month will be taught by Mark Dunn and is titled “Becoming The Habitation Of Christ”

The Christian life has its core, key elements. At the center of all of these is the understanding that God’s main focus is to live in me.

Part 4 – In order to be the habitation of God we must allow Him to do some housecleaning. Our hearts must be a place where Holy Spirit feels at home, that only happens through the cleansing, refining, and purifying of our hearts.
