This is part 1 of a series of messages I preached at the Carron Baptist Church in Washington, DC, where I serve as the pastor. This series is titled: By Faith. In the series, we examine one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible, Hebrews 11. This episode talks about how the foundation of a fortified faith should look. The central theme is: A clear and concise definition of faith equips and empowers us to trust God to leads us on our path toward our purpose.
