QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Pastor Jarrett begins this final segment this week with a story about Rosaria Butterfield, a former tenured professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University. Her memoir is entitled: “The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: An English Professor’s Journey into Christian Faith”.

FIGHT FOR THE LOST SOUL BY PLEADING WITH THEM

This isn’t desperation. This isn’t even being “pushy”. There is an urgency because lost people are in a state of destruction! (2 Corinthians 5:20; Jude 23)

NOTE: Hymn “Rescue the Perishing” by Fanny Crosby

Questions/Issues Discussed:

FIGHT FOR THE LOST SOUL BY PRAYING

Pray for that person by name.

Pray that they will have a soft heart.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will draw that person to God. (John 6:4)

Pray for God to get their attention.

Pray for your role in the process. Corrie ten Boom stated: “We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer.”

Pray for revelation.

REMEMBER: Never, ever, ever give up! Pastor Jarrett tells his brother’s story…


FIGHT FOR THE LOST SOUL BY PLANTING SEEDS

What is the purpose of a seed in a field? Does a farmer plant it and then leave it alone? Or does he plant and cultivate?

Are you trying too hard to “clean the fish before you catch it”? Curious? Listen as Pastor Jarrett explains…

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did Jesus preach that God, his father, actually searched for sinners? Why did Jesus stress the importance of searching for the ONE? Commentator, William Barclay stated: “No Pharisee had ever dreamed of a God like that. This is the one absolutely new thing which Jesus taught about God – that he actually searched for us. A Jew might have agreed that those who came crawling home to God in self-abasement might find pity, but he would never have conceived of a God who went out to search for sinners.”

Who is ONE person you can be praying for? Who has God placed on your heart? (John 20:21; Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8)

FIGHT FOR THE LOST SOUL BY PRAYING

Remember: We cannot “save” anyone. Only God can. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

Pray for that person by name.

Pray that they will have a soft heart.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will draw that person to God. (John 6:4)

Tune in tomorrow for more ways to pray.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why does the Bible call the Christian life a “struggle”?

Are we called to be “good soldiers”? FACT: 3 billion people have no church, no Bible, or even heard the name of Jesus!

Where is our mission field? Are we all called to travel across the globe – or can we minister to people in our own backyard? Pastor Jarrett remembers how he felt before the first sermon he preached at the age of 17 and then his first sermon at Dallas Baptist at the age of 29.

Why do lost souls matter so much to God? (Luke 19:10; John 3:16)

Day 5

HOW ARE YOU RUNNING THE RACE OF LIFE? ARE YOU COASTING ALONG – WAITING TO SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING? OR ARE YOU RUNNING THE RACE AS IF YOUR LIFE – AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS – DEPENDS ON IT?

This week, Pastor Jarrett Stephens concludes the FIGHT sermon series, reminding us that starting well is important, but we must also finish well – and finish strong.

Scripture Passage: 2 Timothy 4:6-8

 If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

HOW TO FINISH STRONG: Don’t be surprised by life’s challenges.

How do you respond to tough situations?

Did God ever promise that the Christian life would be all sunshine and rainbows?

In Paul’s day, why would priests pour out the wine? What is the metaphor for this? Does it still apply to us today? (vs 6) Super interesting! Listen closely,,,


HOW TO FINISH STRONG: Remember that people are watching you.

Why does Pastor Jarrett carry a framed picture of his wife and daughters with him when he travels?

Remember: Paul wrote this letter to Timothy out of concern for the people in the church who were watching him (Timothy).


FINAL THOUGHTS

Live in such a way that when you breathe your last breath, you can say with the apostle Paul: “I have fought a good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.”

BELIEVERS LIVE WITH JESUS AS THE HERO OF THEIR LIFE

Who are you worshipping?

BELIEVERS ARE BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF GOD

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE FOR NOT READING THE BIBLE ON A REGULAR, DAILY BASIS?

How often should we read the Bible? Is there a right or wrong way to do this?

How can the Word of God help us keep our calm in tough situations? Daniel tells a personal story of a time he really didn’t feel like acting like Jesus…

Are we commanded to also build up others? How can we do that?

Is it important to ask for help when we need it? Daniel shares a funny story about the time he put together an Ikea baby changing table/dresser for his daughter.

Can we gain blessings and grow our own faith when we invest in building up others?


BELIEVERS ARE BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF GOD

THE “WHY” OF SUFFERING: GOD’S GLORY

Yesterday:

Pastor Jarrett shared the story from John 9, when Jesus healed the blind man. What questions did the disciples have?

Today:

John 11: The death of Lazarus. Does being a Christian mean we won’t get sick or experience pain?

Do our suffering and God’s glory go hand-in-hand? Pastor Jarrett reminds us: “In God’s economy, His glory is seen MOST in suffering and heartache.”

THE “WHY” OF SUFFERING: OUR FAITH

How does our suffering help grow our faith? (James 1:2-4; 1 Peter 1:6-7)

FIGHT FOR TRUTH: GUARD YOUR MIND

Remember: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:17; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5)

Will a depraved mind lead to a depraved life? (Romans 1:18-28)

Think about this: If the mind is the gateway to life, what is the gateway to the mind? Your eyes! See Matthew 6:22-23.


FIGHT FOR TRUTH: TRAIN YOUR MIND

How can we prepare our minds with the truth in order to fight the enemy? (1 Peter 1:13) Pastor Jarrett uses MMA as an example…

Did Jesus make it a habit to spend time with God?

Does our life really hang in the balance if we don’t live by the Truth? (Romans 8:5-6)

Pray for that person by name.

Pray that they will have a soft heart.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will draw that person to God. (John 6:4)

Pray for God to get their attention.

FIGHT FOR THE LOST SOUL BY PLANTING SEEDS

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did Jesus preach that God, his father, actually searched for sinners? Why did Jesus stress the importance of searching for the ONE? Commentator, William Barclay stated: “No Pharisee had ever dreamed of a God like that. This is the one absolutely new thing which Jesus taught about God – that he actually searched for us. A Jew might have agreed that those who came crawling home to God in self-abasement might find pity, but he would never have conceived of a God who went out to search for sinners.”

Who is ONE person you can be praying for? Who has God placed on your heart? (John 20:21; Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8)

FIGHT FOR THE LOST SOUL BY PRAYING

Remember: We cannot “save” anyone. Only God can. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

Pray for that person by name.

Pray that they will have a soft heart.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will draw that person to God. (John 6:4)

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO REACH AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE LOST SOULS?

PLEASE NOTE: This sermon was preached on May 24, 2026 – Memorial Day Weekend.

This week, Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues in the FIGHT series, reminding us that lost souls still matter. In fact, they should be our number one goal!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why does the Bible call the Christian life a “struggle”?

Are we called to be “good soldiers”? FACT: 3 billion people have no church, no Bible, or even heard the name of Jesus!

Where is our mission field? Are we all called to travel across the globe – or can we minister to people in our own backyard? Pastor Jarrett remembers how he felt before the first sermon he preached at the age of 17 and then his first sermon at Dallas Baptist at the age of 29.

Why do lost souls matter so much to God? (Luke 19:10; John 3:16)
