Faith Wins #

Romans 4:18-25

Introduction

I had mentioned earlier that this portion was Justification by the Resurrection,, Paul certainly closes with that statement, I don’t think it is the focus of these verses. Paul spends a lot of time on the faith in these verses. Faith tends be the focal point of these verses. We are going to look at the fact that Faith Wins tonight.

These verses closely resemble the verses in Hebrews 11, which is labeled the ‘Hall of Faith’ by many. It is a phenomenal chapter which covers faith extraordinarily in the Scripture.

Learning to Lean #

Pro 3:5-6

Lu 17:5-6

Intro.

It is quite apropos that after our missions conference we should look at these two verses. They are two well known verses, often quoted, and yet hard to apply and live.

Faith is one of the topics that every time it is addressed, there is a need that our faith increase.

(Luk 17:5-6) (5) And the apostles said unto the Lord, [Increase our faith]{.underline}. (6) And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Growing in Faith #

Mark 9:14-29

Introduction

We have been following the life of Christ, and specifically his interactions with the disciples. We have dealt a lot with the certainty he made clear to the disciples about the fact that He (Jesus) is God. The Transfiguration was a very clear revelation to Peter, James and John the inner circle, those disciples that were perhaps closer to Jesus than others.

God’s Family Plan #

Mark 10:1-16

Introduction

I have titled the message God’s Family Plan, not because God is specifically outlining the idea for a family, but the entirety of this passage, is so necessary for Family matters, that I have dubbed it, God’s Family Plan. We literally have three separate instances that are back to back that I have stitched together for one message to help families.
