    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 10, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,495 views

    For faith to be true faith, it must be active faith. Its activity, however, must begin with prayer. This should precede any action. "I will cry," he says, "unto God most high."

    STRONG FAITH IN A FAITHFUL GOD Text: "I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me." (Psalm 57:2) DAVID was in the cave of Adullam. He had fled from Saul, his ruthless foe, and had found shelter in the clefts of the rock. In the beginning of this psalm he rings the ...read more

    Faith As A Child (Matthew 18:1-14)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 7, 2026
     | 124 views

    Jesus taught His disciples that faith does not need to be complicated. He also warned that any one who harmed children or someone new to the faith would suffer a horrendous fate.

    Verses 1-5: The disciples asked Jesus a question. Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? They were probably thinking that one of them was better than the others and were as the term says, “jockeying for position” to see who the Lord would choose as His “favorite”. Now was the time for ...read more

    Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

    Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith. After describing his faith, Paul says in Romans 4:22: “And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’” Paul has grounded his teaching on the ...read more

    Living Faith / Dead Faith

     | 23,803 views

    The Bible speaks of a faith that is dead and living faith that empowers the Christian life. This study examines the scriptures that teach about faith and explain how that faith is not the product of man’s efforts, but the gift of God.

    Living Faith / Dead Faith Over the last several months I have been praying for God to reveal more about faith to me. As I study the scriptures, I realized that there is much I have yet to understand. This study is the result of a lot of seeking and praying. While I believe that God has answered ...read more

    If our faith does not lead to practical holiness of life, it is indeed just like a body without a spirit --having no value whatsoever.

    Faith Perfected in Works James 2:14 - 26 A crippled boy was once hurrying to catch a train. Carrying gifts under his arm, he was struggling with his crutches.

    It is a fact of life that we will go through times of trial, pain, and suffering. This is an encouraging sermon that reminds us that God has a plan for us, and that trials give us an opportunity to grow in faith, wisdom, and maturity.

    You know, everything happens for a reason. Even before I was saved, I seemed to have the knowing that nothing in life was a coincidence.
