Jeremy Utley - We Walk by Faith in God's Promise, Not by Sight of Our Progress
Summary
The central message is that Christian growth must be based on faith in God's promises rather than on visible personal progress or feelings. The speaker draws parallels from Psalm 106 and the Transfiguration, warning against the danger of living by sight, which can lead to forgetting God's works. True assurance comes from trusting God's word, as exemplified by Abraham, rather than waiting for visible evidence.

Jeremy Utley - The Promise Has Not Passed You By
Jeremy Utley · Feb 13, 2018
The central message is that believers must actively grasp and live in the promises and doctrines they have heard, rather than letting them remain mere theology. The speaker encourages the audience not to be discouraged if they feel they haven't yet experienced a promised blessing, drawing parallels from Abraham's faith in Romans 4 and Genesis 15. Ultimately, the call is to respond to God's voice today with faith, believing that the promises are not passed by and can be credited to us as righteousness.
