Sermons on Faith And Deeds:

A Sturdy Faith?

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2018

We put too much faith in our ability to ‘get up enough faith’ (whatever that may mean), rather than placing our trust in the Lord. Do you see the difference? One focuses on US, the other on HIM.

A STURDY FAITH? Psalm 125. Sometimes we speak of a person’s great faith, or their unwavering trust in the Lord, as if this was not attainable by any and each and all of us. ‘Oh,’ we say, ‘he has such faith’.

Faith In The Fire Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 2, 2017

The three Hebrew men faced a great dilemma - bow to the king's image or face the fiery furnace. When confronted by the king, they were quick to respond. Our God is able to deliver; but if He doesn't, we still won't bow. We need that type of faith today!

Faith in the Fire Daniel 3: 12-27 As we continue the Conquerors series, one of the greatest accounts of overcoming insurmountable odds and obtaining victory is found in the book of Daniel.

What does unanswered prayer say about our level of faith? Many of us believe we're walking in more faith than we really are.

A couple of years ago I came face to face with a very sobering and heart-wrenching revelation: my faith was not where I thought it was. But I didn’t know that until “I didn’t see” the faith results I was seeking. I had convinced myself that my faith was at a place where it was not. A very dear ...read more

Losing Faith

Contributed by Nicky Evans on May 27, 2017

How does God deal with us during those times we feel we can't go on?

I want to talk this afternoon about ‘losing faith’.

A Failure Of Faith Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 12, 2017

No one is perfect. Even the greatest of Biblical characters are sinners. When Abraham faced the first crisis since deciding to walk with God, he defaulted to his old ways of falsehood rather than walking by faith.
