Doing What Jesus Did | Ps Josh Jones | In His Name Part 4

In this though provoking sermon, join pastor Josh Jones as he unpacks faith and how we can do what Christ did in His name.Faith can be  regarded as the currency of heaven. In Hebrews 11:1 it is described as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Faith can be defined as a divine gift from God rather than a human achievement, it is important for us believers because it embodies God's persuasion for us towards His will. This persuasion, according to 1 John 5:4, is continuously instilled in believers by the Lord. He is the only one who can do it. The beginning of faith does not lie in human reasoning or logic but it is a divine revelation concerning Jesus Christ who is our Messiah. The seed of faith starts with knowing Jesus' sacrifice and this is what drives us as believers. Some people may understand that Jesus existed and taught good morals, but they struggle to believe in his resurrection. This shows that faith goes beyond just logical reasoning and understanding. Faith is from God. We can all believe but not all of us can have faith. He is the one who gives that to us.Ephesians 2:8 teaches us that salvation comes through grace by faith, which is given to us as a divine gift rather than it being something that we generate ourselves. People sometimes think or believe that faith can be created through thinking or meditating, but on the contrary, it comes from being close to God. Belief is a beginning, but real faith changes people and requires a deep desire to be aligned with God's plans - to be close to Him and learn His ways.Romans 14:23 teaches us that faith and righteous living go hand in hand, showing that actions without faith are considered sinful. This shows that faith isn't just about agreeing intellectually, but about actively trusting and relying on God. Similarly, Hebrews 11:6 shows the importance of faith in pleasing God, and it emphasizes the necessity of unwavering belief in Him and His promises.So what are you doing in His name? Are you letting Cultivate your faith?
