What is Faith? | Looking For A Sign
Looking for a Sign: “What is Faith?”
Genesis 37-50, Hebrews 4
What’s the difference between HOPING for something to happen, and being able to say, God, I am TRUSTING You to do this?
EVERYONE has faith.
In every type of faith other than what Jesus and the New Testament describes, there is something that is MISSING.
When the thing you lean your faith against MOVES, then your faith begins to fall, and eventually, FAIL.
Patterns of BEHAVIOR
Unexplainable EVENTS
Circumstantial Faith: Trusting in God and believing in God based on my ability to FIND God in my CIRCUMSTANCES.
We’re not very good at interpreting the EVENTS of life.
There are some events in life that we experience that have absolutely NOTHING to do with God at all.
Our time frame isn’t LONG enough.
“But while Joseph was there in prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.” Genesis 39:20-21
Many times we don’t interpret the VOICE of God well.
Hebrews 4:14 pg. 1,866
v.14 “Therefore, since we HAVE a great high PRIEST who has GONE THROUGH THE HEAVENS, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold FIRMLY to the FAITH we profess.”
Questions:
1. When people say they have walked away from their faith or lost faith, what exactly does that mean? Have you ever lost faith?
2. In your experience which is more likely, that our behavior changes our beliefs or that our beliefs change our behavior?
3. Read Hebrews 12:2-3. How is faith that leans on Jesus different from faith that leans on what’s going on around us?
