    Working through our Faith

    Faith remains the foundation of what we know will happen and the conviction of what is beyond our understanding. 1). Faith is not delivered to you on a silver platter. We must flesh-out our faith in everyday living. 2). Faith is difficult because it is visionary. -Verse 13b- …welcomed them ...read more

    Being in God’s "top 40" requires faith that takes action and makes a commitment.

    Contrary to my children’s belief I was not a child of the 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60’s. Granted I was born in the 60’s but I was too young to be part of that decade. I was a child of the 70’s and all those things that came with it. Bell bottoms and polyester pants, pet rocks, the Brady Bunch, ...read more

    Abraham is such a great man of faith that at times its hard to relate to him. God knew that, so He told us few things about this super-hero of the faith that help us understand how powerful his faith really was.

    OPEN: A man once told a story about his 84 year old grandmother. Apparently, she fiercely maintained her independence and lived alone in the old family home. Her 4 children lived in the same town, but she rarely called them except in emergencies. It was with some apprehension, therefore, that he ...read more

    Intro: If you have ever been to a cardiologist, you probably know what a stress test is like.

    Faith, the foundation of obedience to God, has a rich history of dynamic characters. Today’s challenge is to hold on to the object and content of Christian faith.

    Heroes of Faith: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. Hebrews 11 is a sort of survey of Old Testament faith leaders. The names that receive the most attention are Abraham and Moses. The central ...read more
