Making Faith Moves" 3-May-2026 10AM

Fear of the unknown can make you stand still. Fear of what you do not understand can keep you stuck and static. But the greatest thing that we can ever do for God, ain't that amazing? God says the greatest thing that you can do that will ever bring me the most pleasure is by you trusting in me, It's by you living by faith, not just saying it with your mouth, but let your walking do the talking.

God only calls him to a promise. He has a place. Security, comfort, familiarity, but here's comes god not showing up with a place. God shows up with a possibility. This is a move that will involve risk. It'll involve exposure and leaving behind what has been his normal way of existing. But if he doesn't get out of that place, the promise and the purpose that God has for him somewhere else will remain unoccupied. [01:45:34] (52 seconds)  #ChoosePossibility

I'm trying to say this morning, if you're gonna live by faith, if we're gonna be a faith centered church, we're gonna have to learn how to move with god before we have all the details. When god is moving in your life, real faith don't just sit there and wait. It trusts god. It trusts what god said and it starts walking on by faith each day believing that god will make good on his word. For somebody today, you need to know that refusing to move will keep you stuck in some places that god is calling you out of. [01:32:11] (46 seconds)  #MoveWithGod

But for those of us who have truly walked with God, for those of us who have learned how to trust God, that there are some of you here this morning who can testify that when you have real faith, real faith doesn't just sit still, but real faith has to have some movement that's attached to it. That faith does not wait for everything to be obvious or for everything to be easily understood because here's what we've learned about God when it comes to trusting God, when it comes to believing God's word, when it comes to being obedient to God, God is rarely obvious when he's trying to unfold his plan for us.

Let let me say that one more time. That that there are some things god may want to do with you but god won't do some things with you while you're still around certain people and you're still around certain places. Because sometime faith, your faith, what God is telling you, can seem fooling and foolish and frustrating to other people that you're around. And if it doesn't make sense to them, they'll try to discourage you from moving forward in what God told you to do. I wish I had somebody here who knew what I was talking about.

When Abraham built an altar, it was simply a place where he could worship God and he could pray to God. I I'm a say it one more time. The altar was a place where he could worship God and where he could pray to God. Abraham said, although it's not mine yet, although it's occupied, I'm a build an altar to let God know I'm a worship him in advance, and I'm gonna thank him in advance for what he's getting ready to do until he brings it to pass.

Faith can and does determine our sense of self. It is that which can instruct how we love. It directs our decisions. It shapes the trajectory of our living. Faith, beloved, is not merely something that we possess. It is something that in a very will way is supposed to possess us. And to understand that is to understand that because faith is a living experience, every person lives in response to some ultimate concern. Whether acknowledged or not, there is always something that functions at the center of who we are. [01:25:33] (48 seconds)  #FaithShapesLife

If I can this morning, I I I wanna set us free from any lingering thoughts and feelings of self doubt and spiritual mistrust by affirming for us that god, him at church, god has a plan. I thought I was gonna get a better response than that. So let me try it one more time. I said, I wanna affirm from you for you that god has a plan. That god has something prepared specifically and in and intentionally for our lives and even for our church, and that plan was prepared before either of those two realities, our lives and our church, that plan had been prepared before any of this came into existence.
