Pastor Jeremy shares Sunday in Glendive.
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
New Century Version: Faith means being sure of the
things we hope for and knowing that something is real
even if we do not see it.
New Living Translation: Faith shows the reality of what
we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.
Passion Translation: Now faith brings our hopes into
reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire
the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to
prove what is still unseen.
The Voice: Faith is the assurance of things you have
hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are
realities you’ve never seen.
Faith is present tense, hope is future tense
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so
faith without works is dead also.
● You can believe that Jesus is the Son of God all day
long. You can believe that God raised Him from
the dead all day long...but until you actually ask
Jesus to be the Lord of your life...you ain’t gonna
make it.
Faith is Active, or Faith produces action, or Faith
does something!!
Josh 6 The Walls of Jericho
1. The word of the Lord came to Joshua in verses 1-5
2. Joshua received the word of the Lord, believed it,
and set the people on an assignment to walk out
the plan God had given them.
3. Joshua and the people had to act on what they
believed by marching and shouting!!
2 Chron 20 Jehosophat and the Infantry Chorale
1. The set their attention toward the Lord
2. They received the word of the Lord
3. They stood still and knew that He was God!!
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, believing that
word, and then that belief becomes an action.
Hope, or a desire that hasn’t manifested into the
present yet, will lead us to the Word, then the Holy Spirit
will reveal truth to us, we can believe that Word, apply it
to our lives and then begin doing the Word. Now hope
transforms from the future tense into the present tense
by faith!!

responded to that word.
