A Measure Of Faith Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

When asking God for faith, we are correct in identifying that we need faith, or that perhaps we’re experiencing some kind of spiritual problem. However, we don’t need “more” faith. What we need is the faith already allotted to us.

Our message for this evening is entitled, “A Measure of Faith,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that’s sometimes called, “Faith and Duty.” Have you ever felt inadequate in your relationship with God, or perhaps in your ability to bear spiritual fruit? Have you ever felt that you don’t ...read more

Faith, Rewards And Duty (October 5, 2025 Version)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 30, 2025
