Sermons About Faith
HABAKKUK–1, Where are you, God?
Why doesn't God seem fair? Does God care? Why doesn't God do what he could? Can we express simultaneous questions and faith?

Enjoy the Water
Faith in Jesus is not just a personal relationship we have with Him. It's having the courage to join Him where He is, to step out of our comfort zones and join Him in doing the things He does. Faith is risky and requires courage, but Jesus can be trusted regardless of whether our courage holds up or not.

Galatians 2.1-10: Faith that produces works
Paul recounts his journey with Barnabas and Titus to Jerusalem to meet with the council there. We see Paul on a mission for freedom. He is a freedom fighter fighting for the gospel of grace. The faith that is gifted to one to believe produces works. It is faith that touches the lives of others.

He Will Help You To Believe
A continuation from last Sunday's message; it's no longer "dare you to believe" but that He will "help you to believe". Jesus helps us to come to the place to believe. Like the deaf and mute man from this passage, we're all handicapped. Our handicap though, is that we look inward instead of upward.

Biblical Faith is an Obedient Faith
The obedience that accompanies biblical faith will always be a two edged sword. One edge will show the world and the church that we indeed are legitimate believers and heirs of righteousness and the other edge will heap condemnation on the unbelieving world. In other words it is important how you live.

Faith that Works Part 1
For the believer, having Christ as your personal Savior is only the beginning. It is one thing to talk about having faith and a love for Christ, but the evidence that this faith is real is our behavior, not what we say. Many of the problems Christians face are a result of spiritual immaturity; problems in personal lives, in homes and in churches. If Christians would just grow up, they would become victors instead of victims! God has given us His blueprint for maturity in the Epistle of James. Come “grow” with us as Pastor John leads the way through this study of the book of James.

Obeying God's Word
We all struggle to obey God’s word. We are in good company, though, because most of the people who are lifted up as examples in the Bible struggled to obey God’s word too. We have a tendency to be more concerned with learning the Bible than with applying it to our lives, which makes us knowledgeable but proud, contentious, and condescending instead of humble, loving and merciful. We also don’t make reading the Bible a priority so we are ignorant of what it says, which leads us to wander off of God’s good path and make a wreck of our lives. Once we do learn God’s word our stubborn hearts get in the way and we reject someone else telling us to surrender to them and obey because we think we know better. In the end the only one who can obey God’s word perfectly is Jesus Christ, and we need His death to cover over our failures to obey God’s word, and we need His perfect obedience to be credited to us through faith in Him.
