Unshakeable Faith That Endures

What does it actually mean to have faith? Most of us would say something like 'believing things will work out' or 'trusting God has a plan,' but this sermon challenges us to go much deeper than those familiar answers. Drawing from Hebrews 10 and 11, Romans 10, and Ephesians 2, we are confronted with a definition of faith that is far more active and demanding than we might be comfortable admitting. Faith, as the Bible presents it, is a gift from God that changes what we believe and then compels us to act on that belief. The uncomfortable truth explored here is that the parts of Scripture we are not obeying are precisely the parts we do not truly believe. That connection between belief and action cuts through every area of life, from marriage and work to finances and prayer, and it forces us to ask ourselves whether our faith is genuine or merely intellectual agreement.
