Is belief the same as faith?

Matthew 17:20: "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will beimpossible for you." This verse beautifully bridges belief and faith, showing how even a tiny spark of trust can grow into something powerful.

Philippians2:12-13

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now,not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your ownsalvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to willand to work for his good pleasure.

Today we’re going to look into scripture to explore the topic of works and faith. There can be confusion around the topic of good works among Christians. Jesus’ salvation is a gift of grace that He doesn’t expect us to earn through our performance. That said, what we do still matters.March 23, 2025

The Invitation

You’re Invited! We’ve probably all received an invitation to something at one time oranother; a birthday, graduation, wedding. Usually we’re asked to RSVP as a key component to throwing a great partyis knowing who will be coming.

The parable in Matthew illustrates the invitation we have been given. An invitation to Heaven. God has extended thisinvitation to us through his son Jesus.

We respond to this invitation by believing, and being ready by dressing appropriately, preparing for our ultimate destination.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful. It is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice in the wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all thing, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
