Always Faithful - The Blueprint Series

Grove Hill Church

In this sermon, Ridley Barron preached about staying steadfast in faith and the importance of evaluating actions through a spiritual lens, questioning whether they focus on oneself or Jesus. He humorously addressed "first world problems" and outlined three ways to maintain faithfulness: engaging in gospel community, trusting Jesus fully, and remaining committed to God's mission. Barron shared the inspiring story of Derek Redmond and his father during the 1992 Olympics to highlight support in tough times, and drew lessons from Paul's journey in Acts 21, emphasizing community and spiritual relationships. By distinguishing between determination and stubbornness, and offering discernment tips aligned with God's Word, Barron encouraged listeners to reflect on their decisions and relationships, ensuring they honor God and foster spiritual growth.
