This sermon on the endurance of God's Elect and the ability His chosen ones have by His grace to stand fast in their faith with a lively hope for their salvation was preached by Pastor Nelson Turner of AV1611Reformation.com on the Lord's Day August 23, 2009 from the inspired word of God in the English language, the AV1611 King James Bible. Endurance is contrasted with fainting in the verses Pastor Turner cites to explain the signs of faith and God's calling, and the challenges the faithful confront both for their correction and for their uplifting. Ultimately, by God's grace and calling, the perseverence and preservation of His Elect is evidenced by their steadfastness in the Lord Jesus Christ who is "the author and finisher of our faith." Verses from the Av1611 King James Bible used in this sermon include: Hebrews 12:1-3; 4:15; 12:7/ Isaiah 50:5-10; 1:4-6; 40:29-31/ Job 4:1-5; 8:13-15; 31:2-3/ Jeremiah 8:18/ Proverbs 24:10; 27:24/ Galatians 6:8-10/ Matthew 15:32/ Psalms 9:7; 72:17; 89:29; 30:5; 102:12,25-26/ Ezichial 22:14/ Mark 4:17/ 2 Thessalonians 1:4-5; 2:10/ 2 Timothy 2:3/ James 5:11/ 2 Corinthians 4:1-2
