is any one of us can give this gift to him do you know what that gift is it's the gift of faith faith is so precious to him the one who has everything yet he looks down and looks for a person

[Music] wanted to speak today about where is your faith leaning today so what is your faith leaning on

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

it's nothing unusual it's nothing that i had a lapse in faith that that happened so i was just thankful for brother jude this morning as he was honest about how as he was preparing god was allowed to change we all believe that jesus is building

think he we could also get that testimony from the from the Lord what do you think I believe that and I think that that's where we need to have faith that God's not looking for us to do something for him necessarily for us to

and that's why we must see both sides of this coin one side is true repentance the other side is true faith repentance and Faith both can't be separated you must have both repentance

confess our sins he's faithful and just to cleanse us from all unrighteousness but here it says that that confession also results in a forsaking of that sin and so I said Lord I don't want I want to have a genuine repentance Lord I

of us to take back with us is faith. Not only hearing what we hear today, but faith that God is going to do that in my life. When you think of those two men on the cross,

was thinking about traveling with the faith and a good conscience faith and a good conscience turn with me to First Timothy chapter 1 1 Timothy chapter 1 Paul was talking about some

to take the children's dog children's bread and throw it to the dogs in verse 27 but she said yes lord but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from the master's table verse 28 then jesus said to her o woman your faith is great it shall be done as

that Apple person who goes to pick those apples and what I'm looking to pick each time I go is Faith some people their basket of faith is empty they have the basket they can pick as many apples as they want from the Apple

we have all these apples, we have a basket full that we can fill up with. And then we take that that that apple and we put it in the basket. And it starts off the first basket the uh first apple would be our faith

going to do it. God was not going to take them into the land and let the giants overtake them. They had faith that God cared for them. Moses had that faith as well. But the rest of the 600,000, they said, "You know what? God's going to throw us there

will live by his faith so when God says something in his word if I believe it I'm humble if I don't believe it what am I saying I'm proud that's what it says here behold as for the proud one his soul is not right within him in

take it over the Lord will replay each man for his righteousness and his faithfulness for the Lord delivered you into my hand but I refused to stretch out my hand against your the Lord's anointed for behold as your life was

no how did she know about this god's love god had put in our hearts saying you know what you've even though you failed so much today i'm putting a faith in your heart that god if you go into those doors and meet with this man jesus

to their faith because they knew him so well was their faith very high or was it low did they believe in him did most of them believe in him turn with me to Matthew chapter 13 first

light and it's because of what we heard this morning because you you want to walk by by sight instead of walking by faith you want to burn your own candle and then walk in that path and saying you know what i'm going to blow out the candle

sins. And that's what when they heard Jesus speak to them, they had faith for. If you turn with me to Acts chapter 13 and when we see God's word and the promises that he has in the scripture, we must take it to heart. And this is a

it was God who had told me but look at what he says in verse 22 then Moses returned to the Lord and said he went back to God and said God you were the one who told me to do this I did it I was faithful do it I see that he never

any bread and jesus was aware of this and said you men of little faith why do you discuss yourselves that you have no bread um and um here the you know uh though uh and in he continues that do you not remember understand that remember the

speak on that but it doesn't start off with baptism it does it starts off first with repentance and faith in our life and I see that everything that we experience in the Christian life is to the measure of how much faith we have

our lives if you were to go and look at all of those 10 virgin virgins on that day all of them would have looked faithful because they all had that candle the lamp they had and it was lit but their faithfulness and secret was
