Believing & Becoming

Faith is not just something we believe—it’s something we choose.In this message by Pastor Lucas Chance, we explore how faith becomes visible in the moment of decision. Scripture shows that the Christian life unfolds through a series of choices: choosing to believe the gospel, choosing to become who God says we are, and choosing to act in obedience.The sermon walks through three key movements of spiritual growth:1. BelieveFaith begins with a choice of the heart. While faith itself is a gift from God, we participate by responding to the work of the Holy Spirit and confessing our belief in Jesus Christ.2. BecomeWhen we believe, our identity changes immediately—we become children of God. Yet spiritual growth continues as we mature into who God has called us to be. What we focus on shapes what we become.3. ActFaith ultimately shows itself in action. The everyday decisions we make reveal what we truly believe about God and His promises.Consider the daily choices that shape your faith and intentionally fix your eyes on Christ so that your life reflects Him.Key ScriptureRomans 10:10Chapters00:00 Introduction – Faith and the Moment of Choice02:08 Opening Prayer03:00 Faith Demonstrated Through Choice05:05 The First Choice: Believe10:00 The Second Choice: Become14:05 You Become What You Look At19:10 Worship and Fixing Our Eyes on Christ24:30 Growing Into Who God Calls Us To Be30:05 The Third Choice: Act34:40 Living Out Faith Daily37:20 Final Encouragement
