That's the first word. You have been saved. That's another word. through faith. Grace saved and faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. The Bible says that

faith that's the beginning that's the foundation the person who's not had proper repentance and not come to genuine faith has no foundation and that's very important to begin there it doesn't matter how great sinner one

Faith which is based on scripture but it's not an exact quote of scripture when Jesus wanted to encourage faith in his disciples he used the example of a father providing for his children and he said if your children

be quiet but see but but but verse 15. women can bear children and if they continue in faith and love and sanctity and self-restraint they can bring those children to Salvation

with faith our faith is to use our feelings to drive what our faith is and so we wanted to take a few minutes just to do a little enactment yeah this is something similar to a a parable that's found in the good foundation book by

lasted for 2,000 years and they were faithful till the end even if it meant being tortured or killed that's the thing that's always encouraged me to believe that even

explain that when you read, rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say rejoice. You can add because Jesus did it. That's what Hebrews 12 tells us, the author and perfector of our faith. And until you see Jesus, the person living out every

in your life don't let him have Oh don't let him have the true word of faith there is a version of Christianity that's going around Christendom today it's been called the word of faith because they used that phrase a lot he's

when I'm growing in faith it means God can allow me to see less I don't have to see more of the circumstance or what God is doing I don't have to understand more God can Cloud more things from me because I'm growing in faith I'm not

to God because I've gone 36 days since falling and I'm counting it God says yeah you're counting I wasn't counting I was looking for Faith you know God's not looking for how many days you've made it without falling into that sin or doing

if you've seen Jesus I tell you there can never be unbelief in your life because faith comes from hearing the hearing the word of Christ and when you've actually heard the word of Christ IM instead of imagining you know you

Lord, at your gates. We pray that you speak to each one of us, Lord. We are such needy people especially in these last days. We need a word from you so that we can be encouraged and strengthened and be true and faithful to

My faith looks up to thee. Thou lamb of Calary, Savior divine. Now

[Music] Some years ago, I shared a message here about the type of faith that

It really just may be I agree with it. Yeah, it's true. It's God's word. I agree with it. But faith is something completely different. Faith has life in it. Faith has power in it. And even if you

talk to you today about is the secret of a confident Faith see I believe that most Christians live their lives and I include myself in that for many years with a very shaky faith our faith is very shaky often times you go to the

for you. Don't let your faith fail. Don't give up on me, Peter. I have a purpose for you. I know you feel like this is the end of the world, that you're not qualified anymore. I know that you feel broken and helpless. I

that we should not be lazy but the followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises so the two requirements that come to my mind as I think Sunday per litter - one of them that both of them faith and patience and

Commandments our faith remember this is what's pleasing to God faith is what's pleasing to God so pleasing to God what's pleasing to God is not keeping his Commandments it's faith that keeps his Commandments

G or pain will Le [Music] up his God a faith that shines for

revelation chapter 2. now we go to the next church which is the church in smyrna chapter 2 verse 8. this is a good church and they've gone through tribulation and they've been faithful

verse six therefore in the midst of whatever hurricane you're going through being always of good courage and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord because we walk by faith not by sight or I would paraphrase as I've been

me as I hear that word today I could hear it and say yeah I have faith I believed in Jesus I come to know the Lord I have faith what Jesus is telling me hijae let these words sink in don't say that you already have faith sink in to
