Reflecting on the Past, Preparing for the Future | Sunday Message
Pastor Greg Laurie delivers important points on God’s faithfulness and our faith in Him. Notes: Two words stand out in our 50-year history: Faithfulness and faith. The faithfulness of God and our response of faith to His calling. Jesus promised to the church: “The gates of Hell shall not prevail against us.” God has remained faithful to lead, protect, and guide us each step of the way. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 “The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. I have a beautiful inheritance.” Psalm 16:6 “Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 Faith is not just intellectual ascent; it is also action. Faith is belief plus action. Faith is a living, restless thing; it cannot be inoperative. What saves is faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone. How does faith come? By listening, studying, and immersing yourself with the Word of God. Romans 10:17 Theology without apology. Worshiping Evangelizing Learning Loving Faith can make the difference between something happening and not happening. Faith sees what could be; a believer sees invisible things. Read: Matthew 14:28–31 Faith is the refusal to panic, and it has no back door. When you have a lapse of faith, call out to Jesus! Matthew 14:30–31 “Little faith” is one word in the Greek. With Peter’s eyes back on Jesus, “little faith” walked back to the boat. Matthew 14:32 We should never believe our doubts and doubt our beliefs. We should believe our beliefs and doubt our doubts. “Your faithfulness continues from generation to generation.” Psalm 119:90 Teach God’s Word faithfully. Invite people to come to Christ. Preach the gospel to our culture. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
