Fears Or Faith? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Feb 27, 2012

We can come up with all sorts of excuses but what really matters is what Jesus says!

Why do we do what we do on a daily basis? We do things for many reasons; what we know, how we feel, what seems right, what people would say, etc..

What Is Faith? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 2, 2012

What is the real nature of faith? We often think it is blind trust in Jesus to give us what we ask for. In reality faith means a transformation of how you think of life, needs, and your relationship with Jesus.

In this portion of Chapters 7 and 8 Jesus puts His men into several situations to show them what it means to rely on Jesus. Sadly, they don’t get it, but it gives us some great direction on how to trust Jesus in our lives. We leave a situation where Jesus encountered the Pharisees who thought ...read more

Peace And Faith Series
