The Audacity Of Simple Faith Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 15, 2009

Abraham didn’t have much to go on - God’s promise. But what Abraham did, when he did it, and through what agency speaks volumes to the Jew and Gentile alike how to have trust in a God you cannot see.

Despite the good news that God gives new life free of charge, we humans have a hard time accepting such a gift. We, by nature want to earn or buy what we get. For the Roman Christians reading Paul’s letter, that would also have been true. In fact, many of them were Jewish Christians, and thinking ...read more

An Old Testament Arguement For Faith Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 26, 2009

Having Amazing Faith

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Sep 6, 2011

Faith must be exercised or it becomes limited. You will never do what God desires of you in your own strength. Faith works best in the impossible realm because that is where God does His best.
