Christ tells us that the weightier matters of the law, are justice, mercy, and faith. But what is faith? Is it merely the belief that Christ is our Saviour, or are there many aspects of faith? What do the scriptures say about faith, and the men and women of faith whose stories encourage us in our walk of faith? Let this series of sermons give you encouragement and inspiration to live a faith-filled life in covenant with the ever-faithful God. Learn about the many facets of Christian faith.
Abraham Believed
The ancient city of Ur was in the news as a result of recent excavations there. Though a thriving city over 3000 years ago and mostly forgotten to all but the archaeologists, yet some Christians will still recognize Ur as the hometown of Abraham. Abraham, is the father of the faithful, but why did God call Abraham our Father in the faith? What did he think, say, or do that prompted God to use Abraham as an example of godly faith? Jeff Patton examines the life of Abram and Sarai as they begin their covenant walk with God.
Women of Faith
The book of Hebrews speaks of women of faith who were blessed with the miracle of having their dead loved ones restored to life. Who were some of these women, and how did they express their faith through action? Jeff Patton reveals the challenges that women have faced and still face, and how God heard the prayers of faithful women of the bible and relieved their suffering. These are powerful stories of God’s deliverance of those who trusted in Him.
Abraham Trusted God
Faith is a gift from God; it is divine persuasion, and it is not detected by visible signs. So we, like Abraham, if we have faith, then we are still waiting for the ultimate fulfillment of the divine promises in the Kingdom of God. As we wait patiently are we yielded to God and keeping the faith so we can inherit the promises along with faithful Abraham? What further lessons can we learn of Christian faith from our father in the faith, Abraham?
