To reveal the kind of faith required for the life of Christianity and this is revealed through Jesus
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV84) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Faith is not:
If I do this, God will do this. That is God as puppet.
Not a formula. If I do the spiritual hokey pokey I will be healed.
Not a way to figure out the answers to the universe.

Maybe you have never ran or cycled in such a way as to hit a wall, but we all share experiences when life became so tough, a season of life was so trying that we felt it was going to crush us and we hit a proverbial wall.
· Mothers of young children know what it is to hit the wall.
· Anybody who has tried to diet and then driven by a Dairy Queen knows what it is to hit the wall.
· Anybody who has a dysfunctional family to spend thanksgiving with knows what is to his the wall.
The Bible often uses the concept of running to describe life.

Whether you are believer or not, I don’t have to convince you of evil. We may differ on where evil comes from.
John 10:10 (NIV84) 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

And now we can see the two main strategies Satan uses in our lives.
Strategy 1: To get you to believe something different than what God says is true about himself or his promises.
Strategy 2: To get you to believe something different than what God says about you.
Questions about who God is based on your circumstances. He attacks people on what they know and do not know about God.
Questions about who you are and what God says is true about you. You decide to believe something about you that is counter to what God says about you.
We call it truth because we feel it and that is a terrible source of truth. Satan’s native tongue is liar.

Research reveals about 80% of Americans believe in God while only 60% believe in the Devil.
He is saying that fear that there is something under the bed, is a legitimate fear.
The Bible affirms there is more than meets the eye and if that’s true, who and what are we talking about. Most often the Bible calls the personality Satan. It is a word that means adversary, enemy, devil.

Can one person really make that big difference
One person can make a difference to God.
So this idea of making a difference to God sounds like an oxymoron,
creation making a difference to the creator.
The finite making a difference to the infinite.
The weak making a difference to the omnipotent.
And yet the scriptures indicate we can make a difference to God.

God honors movement. God honors sacrifice. Today I want to go after the way we think about sacrifice. Throughout the New Testament there is a word that is used 29 times. It is the word “phroneo” which is translated “mind.”
Mark 8:33 (NRSV) 33 But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”
Philippians 2:5 (NRSV) 5 Let the same mind (attitude) be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
Colossians 3:2–3 (NRSV) 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, 3 for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
The Scriptures are teaching us that the mind of Jesus isn’t just logic, but it suggests attitude. So now we have the word “Phroneo”
“phroneo” meaning logic, attitude and the desires of one’s heart.

ALIVE will become a multiplying movement.
In order to become a multiplying movement, we have to get intentional about raising up leaders, men and women who understand that God has gifted them and God has called all of us to be part of advancing His kingdom in our neighborhoods
There are four main strategies we are establishing to build up leaders.

Vision Submission must be part of any group that believes it is being led by God-given vision.
Tom, the daily responsibilities for the ministry have lessened for you but the responsibility of charting the course of all that is ALIVE has risen in importance and need. God honors movement.
Judges 2:6–10 (NIV84) 6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance. 7 The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel. 10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.
