    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 10, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,494 views

    For faith to be true faith, it must be active faith. Its activity, however, must begin with prayer. This should precede any action. "I will cry," he says, "unto God most high."

    STRONG FAITH IN A FAITHFUL GOD Text: "I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me." (Psalm 57:2) DAVID was in the cave of Adullam. He had fled from Saul, his ruthless foe, and had found shelter in the clefts of the rock. In the beginning of this psalm he rings the ...read more

    Faith’s Essential Content Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024
     | 628 views

    Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

    Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith.

    Jude sounds a warning of danger and he issues a call to action. He calls on the Called, the Beloved, the Kept for Jesus Christ to "earnestly contend for the faith".

    A doxology is a short prayer or hymn of praise that extols the glory and majesty of God.

    Faith is so much more than a passive agreement to a set of doctrines. Saving faith transforms the one who believes. Without this transformation, how will anyone know whether we are saved, or merely pretending to be a follower of Christ?

    JAMES 2:20-26 USELESS FAITH “Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; ...read more

    Knowing the end of his life is near, Jesus needs to remake His disciples’ understanding of what their responsibilities are as they await His return. And so Jesus tells them a story that had a familiar ring: The Good Samaritan
