Do You Believe? - Message 1 - What is Faith? Faith is to spiritual life what breathing is to physical life. Without faith we cannot have spiritual life or enjoy the benefits of a personal relationship with our Creator. Imagine the danger when so many definitions and illustrations of faith being written about and preached today often present us with unbiblical notions. This is spiritually equivalent to breathing polluted, poisonous air. In order to avoid confusing teaching and false doctrine, we will examine this chapter of Scripture that talks more about faith than any other in the Bible. This will take us to the Source of truth about faith. Here we can find clean, pure air, so that we might breathe deeply and by faith accomplish great things for God. The first sermon in the series this week (Sunday, January 2) is titled “What is Faith?” We will look at Hebrews 11:1-2, and verse 6 in order to establish a working definition of faith and also to expose the wrong ideas, false doctrines, and misunderstandings about faith that abound in many so-called churches today. Faith is essential for life and godliness. It is the first in a list of three things that are truly necessary for happiness and contentment, the other two being hope and love. However, much of what is being said about faith these days does not match what the Bible tells us about faith. Knowing what faith is, how it works, where it comes from, and what it can do will change our lives and impact our eternity. To say the least, it is an important topic to be understood. So where do we start? Listen as we learn together what the Bible has to say about what faith is.
