We can develop and strengthen our faith

Why study faith? Why build our faith?

  • Faith is challenging because it is under attack in our age. Some view faith as opposed to fact and reality.
  • It is important for new Christians to help them grow.
  • It is important to those who grew up in the church. I’ve seen many that take their faith for granted.

Goals for this quarter

Building our faith requires action

  • II Peter 1:5 – This process to build our faith ends in love!
  • Faith is active!
    • James 2:18-19, 20-24
    • Not just an intellectual assent to the promises laid out by God.
    • It is an embracing of those promises in their fully glory and detail, and the effect that has on our lives!
    • Faith is more than simple belief; it is an active trust in the future God has assured us. Hebrews 10:39
    • Faith is active and it should be active in our lives.
