Forward by FAITH --- What is faith?

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Hebrews 11:1 (Matthew 8:26; 17:20; Mark 9:23-24; Luke 17:5; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; 11:1-3 & 7; Genesis 12:2; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 1:20)

 

Have you struggled thinking that you don't have enough faith? Is faith something that you build up or can you ever have enough?

Faith is so simple, and yet, it can be confusing. Some passages say things like, "O ye of little faith" and other passages say we only need the "faith the size of a mustard seed" to move mountains. Which is it? Let's break down some of the misconceptions of faith and answer the question, "What is faith?"

 

Series description: The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. The Bible teaches us that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. We know that it was by faith that Daniel faced the lion's den, Noah built the ark, Moses saw the sea split, and David experienced the giant fall!

Faith is necessary and essential to experience victories in our lives, but do we really understand Faith? Hebrews 11 not only explains faith, but it illustrates the power of faith through the stories of God's people living out their faith.

In order to move forward by faith as Christians, we must have a full understanding of faith. This series will take us through Hebrews 11 to discover the power of faith and how to live it out!
