SPIRITUAL GROWTH-DAY TWO

JANUARY 7, 2014

The theme of our week is faith. Below are the sermon notes from Sunday’s message, “Founded On Faith”

FOUNDED ON FAITH
Hebrews 1:1-6

Charles Kingsley: “I do not want merely to possess a faith, I want a faith that possesses me.”

FAITH REINFORCES YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE (v.1)

George Mueller:  “Faith is the assurance that the thing God has said in His Word is true, and that God will act according to what He has said in His Word.”

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”(Hebrews 11:1 ESV)

FAITH REWARDS YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE (v.6)

Jack Hayford: “Often, our expectations are too small, and we ask based on what we know is possible. But He is the God of the impossible!”

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6 ESV)
