What a total honor to share with my church family – can I just say that we have some of the coolest people in the world at our church? Its rewarding to serve Jesus with them! So on Sun, we talked about faith & I thought I’d share a few things you might want to consider in relation to faith:
Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them. Blaise Pascal
Rom 5:1, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, NKJV
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. ~J.R.R. Tolkien
Faith is putting all your eggs in God’s basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch. ~Ramona C. Carroll
Rom 4:19-21, “And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. NKJV
Faith enables persons to be persons because it lets God be God. ~Carter Lindberg
Rom 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. NKJV
Faith can move mountains, but don’t be surprised if God hands you a shovel. Unk author
Heb 4:2, “For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. NKJV
Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future. ~Robert Collyer
James 2:16-18, “If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. NIV
May your faith in God grow every day!
