Testing Your Faith

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015

God wants me to live by faith. God builds my faith by testing it. How then, does God do this? I’d like to look at four ways God tests and builds our faith.

Testing Your Faith The Bible says in Matthew 9:29 "According to your faith it will be done unto you." What are you expecting God to do in your life? This is the law that God has established. It’s called the Law of Expectation. The fact is, we tend to get what we expect out of life. We tend ...read more

Faith In The Storm Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 6, 2014

Jesus' teaching closes Mark chapter 4 by revealing to us the truths of the Kingdom of God and the importance of having faith. However, if we aren't willing to do what Jesus has called us to do, can we really ever have faith in the storms of life?

Faith in the Storm Mark 4:21-41 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Last time we saw ...read more

Faith Or Sight?

Contributed by Perry Greene on May 22, 2018

I/we tend to want to see God's direction clearly. Sometimes he grants that; usually, he doesn't. What he wants from us is the faith to continue on with him even when we don't see where we're going.

Faith Sighing Series

Contributed by David Scudder on May 6, 2012

Habakkuk does not deliver a message as much as he solves a problem. In chapter one we hear a sob, but chapter three ends with a song. Habakkuk's struggled with the same kind of problems we deal with today. Why doesn't God punish the wickedness we see ever

Purpose: To assure believers that God will ultimately use the wicked for our good and His glory. Aim: I want the listener to hate their own sin and pray for revival in our country.

Faith In Afflictions

Contributed by Pst. Vincent Wrock on Jun 20, 2023

Affliction is the best Litimus Test for the Faith we Profess. Many shall be the Afflictions of those that Loves God but the promise of Deliverance we have. This should encourage you. Psalms 34:19 The righteous person has many troubles, but the Lord rescues him from all of them.

To us as believers Afflictions are to Prove our Salvation which is from God, because It's one thing to talk about Salvation but it's another thing to Demonstrate your Salvation which forms the evidence of your Faith. Apostle Paul is advising us in the below Scripture to keep on our Faith ...read more

But God...

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 25, 2023

Romans 5:8 - “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

BUT GOD... Romans 5:1-8. ROMANS 5:1.

Faith in God is critical for our salvation and also for our walk with God. Learn from Abraham and put our faith in God's Word, His wisdom, and glorify God. Faith faces the facts with an unwavering trust in God.

It was God’s plan for all men. • Paul highlighted in ...read more

Faith That Makes You Whole Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 30, 2022

Your faith has made you whole. None of us will ever know the fullness, wholeness that God intends without faith in Christ. We do not come to Jesus by our good works. Salvation is a free gift and Jesus already paid the price when he died on the cross.

Faith has been illustrated in many ways, some of the illustrations successfully illustrate faith and some are not so successful. I remember seeing a friend of my wife and I in a wheelchair. When we asked her what happened she explained she took part in a faith exercise. She was asked to jump off a ...read more
