GIVE. ME. FAITH.



I want to do a quick review and preview with you now that we're halfway finished with our series.

Message 1 - FAITH IS...
from Hebrews 11:1-6
  1. Faith is assurance about the future
  2. Faith is conviction about true reality
  3. Faith is living a life that is commendable by and pleasing to God
  4. Faith is believing God exists
  5. Faith is believing God reward seekers
Message 2 - FAITH GROWS...
from Genesis 12-22
  1. Faith grows from believing God can only work thru the natural to believing God works thru the supernatural.
  2. Faith grows from trying to make God’s word/promise happen in your timing and wisdom to trusting God’s timing and wisdom.

Message 3 - PRIDE & FAITH
from 2 Kings 5:1-14

Main idea: Faith demands that you come to the end of yourself.

Here's the messages and their passages for the next 3 weeks. This is where our series will really get going. These next 3 messages are about the practical outworking of faith in your life. Be here!!!

Message 4 - FAITH FEARS GOD (Daniel 3:1-30)
