God calls us to Himself, the most stable, certain, freeing place we can be. Yet when we encounter obstacles we sometimes hesitate to lead with faith and obedience to God. Dr. Dick Foth points us to Hebrews 11, using Abraham as an example of how we are to trust God through uncertainty.

The Big Lie
The phrase "by faith" is repeated eighteen times in Hebrews 11. Sixteen of those are biographical — "by faith, Noah", "by faith, Moses", "by faith, Abraham". All of those "by faith" statements are as unique as Noah, Moses, and Abraham. The same is true of you. Listen as Pastor Mark unpacks how to cultivate faith with your fingerprint on it. Not your parent's faith. Not your pastor's faith but yours!

Seeing With Eyes of Faith
What step of obedience is God prompting you to take by faith today? It is easy to understand life through what we can see with our physical eyes. However, we see examples from Moses for how to see by faith in God's wisdom and understand which is far greater than our understanding. Pastor Joel draws out four challenges from Moses' journey with the Israelites, to help us see our world through the eyes of faith. Consider how your perception changes as you engage each challenge!

Greater Things
Faith has no finish line—you never arrive. Faith is use it or lose it. If you don’t stretch your faith, it atrophies. How do you stretch? You believe God for greater things! The way you steward a miracle is by believing God for even bigger and better miracles. That’s how you go from faith to faith.

When All is Said and Done
God’s Spirit is not constricted by time and place. He reaches us in the deepest and farthest places. Though we sometimes get to do specific actions by the power of the Holy Spirit, we always get to be people who demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit in our character. Listen as Dr. Dick Foth illustrates, through stories, how we can consider this in our daily lives.
