Pastor Jeremy shares Sunday in Glendive.

Rom. 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing

by the word of God.

Heb. 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please

Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is,

and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek

Him.

● If God demands us to have faith when it is

impossible for us to have faith, then we have the

right to challenge His justice.

BUT, if He places within our hands the means faith can

be produced, then the responsibility falls on us whether

or not we have faith.

Heb 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen.

New Century Version: Faith means being sure of the

things we hope for and knowing that something is real

even if we do not see it.

New Living Translation: Faith shows the reality of what

we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

Passion Translation: Now faith brings our hopes into

reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire

the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to

prove what is still unseen.

The Voice: Faith is the assurance of things you have

hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are

realities you’ve never seen.

The Message: The fundamental fact of existence is that

this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under

everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle

on what we can’t see.

Different types of faith:

1. Natural Faith (Human Faith): This type of belief

comes from the physical realm. You perceive

information and experience in this realm via your

5 physical senses.

a. This type of faith is something you can touch,

see, smell, taste, or hear.

b. Thomas faith: sight, and experience will

make decisions in this arena.

c. This type of faith won’t believe until it sees.

Until the symptoms are gone, until the

marriage improves, until their kids serve the

Lord, until the need is met.

d. The Israelites on their way to the promised

land. We don’t have anything to drink, we are

going to die. We don’t have anything to eat,

we are going to die, we can’t overcome these

giants, we are going to die.

2. Mental Ascent (Soulish Faith): This type of belief

comes from the soulish realm, your intellect, your

will, and your emotions. You perceive information

and experience in this realm through your mind.

a. This type of faith is something that “makes

sense” to you.

b. Pro’s, con’s, opinions, emotions, & your will

(opinion) make decisions in this arena.

c. This type of faith needs everything in the

mental arena to line up or make sense. This

type of faith needs everything to be figured

out.

d. Genesis Chapter 16 Hagar and Ishmael.

Sarah wasn’t having any luck with this whole

kid thing, so she figured why not give my

maid to my husband so that we might have

kids that way.

3. Spiritual Faith (Bible Faith, Heart Faith): This type

of belief comes from the Word of God. You

perceive information and experience in this realm

by your spirit.

a. This type of faith, this lifestyle, walking by

faith is not based on physical senses, seeing,

knowing, experience, emotions, intellect, but

it is based on the Word of God.

b. The Word of God, the inward witness, the

inward voice (still small voice), the voice of

the Lord & revelation knowledge are used to

gather information and make decisions in

this realm.

c. Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he

was called to go out to the place which he

would receive as an inheritance. And he went

out, not knowing where he was going.

i. Gen 12:1 Now the Lord had said to

Abram: “Get out of your country, From

your family And from your father’s

house, To a land that I will show you. 2 I

will make you a great nation; I will bless

you And make your name great; And

you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless

those who bless you, And I will curse

him who curses you; And in you all the

families of the earth shall be blessed.” 4

So Abram departed as the Lord had

spoken to him...
