Delight in Grace

Faith is a word batted around in both religious and secular circles. But what does the Bible mean when it uses the word “faith”? If I believe something strongly enough, does it make it so? Is faith separate from logic and evidence? Where does faith get its strength? Listen in with us as Pastor Rich answers these questions in this message titled What is Faith?

It is the desire for God which is the most fundamental appetite of all, and it is an appetite we can never eliminate. We may seek to disown it, but it will not go away. If we deny that it is there, we shall in fact only divert it to some other object or range of objects. And that will mean that we invest some creature or creatures with the full burden of our need for God, a burden which no creature can carry. Our Father offers us Himself. He is the only place we will find true satisfaction. Yet we are prone to wander and seek our own way!In this message from Isaiah 55, Pastor Rich points us to God’s invitation to come to Himself, to the One our heart was made for. Let’s listen to this last message from the series Behold Your God.
