    Living faith is contrasted with verbal faith.

    Context: part of Sermon on the Mount. Immediate context: 2 ways (13-14); 2 trees (17-20); and finally 2 builders. Issue: more people will profess Christ than will follow Christ. Emphasis on words. 1. Enduring faith is more than knowing the words. Not/but – provides a strong contrast between ...read more

    Paul is impressed by the Roman church. He says [v 8] that their faith is reported all over the world. This is “impact faith.” It is a faith that makes a difference. The root of this kind of faith is in the gospel.

The subject of faith has been preached on, written about, study guides offered, instructional series presented and on and on… the topic has an exhaustive amount of research and teaching on it…why? Because we as Christians understand ...read more
