President's Chapel 2025-2026 - Rev. Kenneth Wagner - From Faith to Mission: Stepping Into God’s More

Pastor Kenneth Wagner’s main message is simple: more faith leads to more mission. He explains that when faith is truly alive, it doesn’t leave us sitting still, it moves us toward obedience and action. Using Hebrews 11–12, he describes a clear progression: faith builds trust, trust leads to obedience, and obedience results in mission. The stories of Noah, Abraham, and Moses remind us that God works through ordinary, imperfect people whose faith is willing to respond. From Hebrews 12, he highlights four practical challenges. First, be confident in God’s faithfulness. Second, be wise by removing the “weights” that slow you down. Third, be pure by laying aside sin, especially hidden sin that creates shame and distance from God. And fourth, stay focused by fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Ultimately, he calls students to reject passive, stagnant faith and step into the “more” God has for them, letting their faith move them into everyday mission for others. ★ Support this podcast ★
