"Taking Another Step of Faith"
Greetings!
As we as a congregation have been exploring taking steps of faith over these past four weeks, we've discussed several aspects of faith: 1) the importance of taking our "first steps" and walking by faith; 2) the necessity of focussing our eyes on Christ to run by faith; 3) a "picture of the faithful person" who humbly lives and gives and loves by faith; and 4) the dangerous potential of doubt in derailing our faith and the importance of discipline in maintaining our faith. This series has been very timely for me as I have gone through a season of
doubt...not doubt in God, but doubt and uncertainty of "direction".
Through this season I have been surprised by the many ways that God has encouraged my faith, and I am excited and filled with hope that we are moving forward in ways that please God, namely "by faith". This Sunday we will once again look at our God-given role as reconcilers,
and our utter dependence on God (faith!) to enable us for our task.
Let's come together by faith and encourage one another in this journey of faith!
God's grace and peace be with you all,
Dave
