In this sermon from the "Reclaiming Faith" series, Pastor RaMona challenges the congregation to move beyond mere belief to authentic faith. She begins by noting how easily we can recite creeds like the Apostles' Creed without truly taking to heart what we're professing. Drawing from dictionary definitions and Hebrews 11:1, she explains that while belief is simply accepting that something is true, faith is having complete trust and confidence—like a bulldog that won't let go.Pastor RaMona uses Jesus' parable from Matthew 7:24-27 about the wise builder who builds on rock versus the foolish builder who builds on sand to illustrate her point. The rock represents not just hearing and believing Jesus' words, but putting them into practice through obedience. She emphasizes that storms will come in life, and without the firm foundation of active faith in Christ, we'll crash like the house built on sand. Referencing James 1:22-25, she stresses that we must "do what it says," not merely listen to God's word. The sermon concludes with practical steps for building "bulldog faith": daily obedience, repentance when we falter, community accountability, and consistent prayer and Scripture study.We invite you to connect with us: https://linktr.ee/faithmcrichmondtx
