Faith - Andy Gamble
from The Hills Church Hosted by The Hills Church
This powerful message centres on the transformative nature of faith, drawing from the life of Abraham as our guide. We discover that faith isn't about perfection or having all the answers - it's about trusting God even when we can't trace His hand in our circumstances. The scripture from Genesis 15:6 reminds us that Abraham believed the Lord, and it was credited to him as righteousness. What's remarkable is that Abraham wasn't perfect; he had moments of fear, doubt, and impatience. Yet what defined him wasn't his flawlessness but his willingness to believe God. The message challenges us to recognise that we might be closer to God than we think, especially in a culture where many have grown disillusioned with religion but not necessarily with Jesus Himself. Faith, as defined in Hebrews 11:1, is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we don't see. It's trusting God before we see evidence, believing in the picture even when we can't see the whole frame. This Pentecost Sunday reminder emphasises that the same Holy Spirit that filled the early church still empowers ordinary people today to become extraordinary witnesses. When we're filled with faith and the Spirit, we become unstoppable - not because life is perfect, but because God is faithful.
