In week four of the Alpha series, Pastor Paul Watson unpacks why faith is essential to the Christian life. Faith is not just belief in ideas but trust in a person—Jesus Christ. True faith is born out of relationship, not religion, and it gives confidence, peace, and steadiness in uncertain times. We learn that faith is not the absence of doubt, but trusting God in the midst of doubt. Faith often requires risk, is built through obedience, and is ultimately proven in God’s faithfulness.
