    What Is Faith Series

    Contributed by Caleb Onwuka on Oct 16, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,026 views

    Faith is the victory, the distance between your wishes and your accomplishments is your work of faith. The time you would spend on waiting is the building of your faith to receive the answer.

    Lets say you were on a journey, two things are already in place (1) The destination (2) What to do when you get there. FAITH is the active expression of these two things right now even before you get there. For example: You would not sit down on the bus and start saying "what if the driver ...read more

    Renewed strength to serve the Lord!

    INTRO: God has a unique plan for every single child of God. He passionately desires for us to know His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

    My focus here is on three widows - Ruth, her mother-in-law Naomi, and a nameless pensioner who puts all her livelihood into the offertory plate! As ever, the characters the Bible brings before us as heroes of the faith are persons whom the community at

    Doing Good

    Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

    Last week we finished our study in the book of James. James was all about words and works of the faithful Christian. Our walk and our talk express our faith and our relationship with God. Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more
