Circumstances: Faith, Facts and the Future

When you grow up in the church, one of the common themes that gets drilled into your brain is that faith and facts are in opposition to each other. We are taught that the “what is” of facts and the “what shall be” of faith are somehow diametrically opposed to each other, but what happens when the facts surrounding your life actually lead you to a step of faith? Could it be that facts and faith can work together to lead you to a future that pleases God and blesses you? There are a lot of man-made traditions and false conclusions that people have passed off as sound doctrine. Following Jesus is a faith walk, and The Bible is clear that it is impossible to please God without faith. However, it doesn’t mean that we completely ignore the evidence around us. We’ve been in a series called “Sounds From Heaven,” talking about the ways God speaks to us, and this week, we’re exploring the possibility that He may be speaking to you through the circumstances of your life right now.
