Faith: The Beginning, The End and Everything In Between

Faith: The Beginning, The End and Everything In Between challenges us to move beyond simply believing that God will produce the outcomes we want and instead place our faith in the character, wisdom, and faithfulness of Jesus.

In this message, Pastor David explores what biblical faith looks like from the moment we first respond to Jesus, throughout the uncertainties and challenges of our lives, and ultimately to the eternal hope secured for us through His resurrection. Through the lives of Peter and Abraham, we're reminded that faith is not self-confidence, wishful thinking, or the expectation that God will follow our plans. Genuine faith trusts Jesus when the outcome is uncertain, obeys when the next step is difficult, perseveres through failure and waiting, and remains devoted to God's Word, prayer, fellowship, generosity, repentance, and love. Faith begins with Jesus, sustains us throughout the journey, and fixes our hope on the eternal inheritance He has secured for us.
