United Methodist Church of Kent Sermon Podcast

When we know God is with us, no matter what the threat, we need not fear.

We can trust God to lead us down the right paths.

God brings us to true peace and satisfaction.

God provides for our deepest needs.

God is a shepherd—one who protects and guides his people.

Christ – “the Word of God that enlightens every person” – is the source of the truths about God that appear across all religions. That truth comes to its ultimate and clear revelation in Jesus Christ. Thus we are inspired not only to believe, but to believe in Jesus Christ.

What we believe makes a critical difference, for our lives and for the world.

“I believe” – credo – means a commitment of the heart, not just an idea in the mind. This results in a way of living.

Faith is far more than an intellectual conclusion that God exists. It is a decision to trust in God, even as we cannot see clearly and may yet feel doubts.

God must be in some sense veiled from view for human beings to have freedom. Is this why there can be no overwhelming, unavoidable “proof” of God?
