We were born into battle and born-again into conflict, but Jesus has given us peace and victory. Regardless of our personality, we must deal with opposition, tension and conflict in nearly every sphere of life. Not run from it, but confront when necessary and stand in the midst of it with love and steadfast confidence in Jesus.

Guest Speaker, Beth Johnson, continues our series called "Life of Faith" and helps us to understand that when we choose to submit to Him in faith, we give God something that He doesn't have - our obedience.

Faith is a necessity in our lives, not a luxury. This currency of the kingdom is essential - essential to do the works of Jesus that believers are all invited to do and essential to live as a partner with God in the earth.

Jesus marvels at the follower who lives by faith. We are called to live by faith, not by sight and we must exercise the faith that we have so that it will grow and the lives of others will be changed.

Although living in a world driven by selfishness, the elevation of intellect and the pursuit of riches, we are called and invited to live much differently.

We are invited to live a life of Faith in God. Trusting in His ways, following Him into the unknown, always aware that Jesus actually lives inside of us.
