Reverend Jr preached from Hebrews 11:6, emphasizing that without faith it is impossible to please God. He stressed that faith is not passive but a conscious decision to believe God is who He says He is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. This faith is like a title deed, giving assurance of things hoped for, based on God's unchanging Word. Reverend Jr illustrated from Matthew 9 how friends brought a paralytic to Jesus, and Jesus saw their faith and healed the man, showing that our faith can help others receive from God. He also highlighted the woman with the issue of blood who determined before she reached Jesus that touching His garment would make her whole, and Jesus commended her faith. The Canaanite woman persisted in faith even when Jesus seemed not to answer, and He called her faith great. Reverend Jr warned that unbelief hinders God's work and that we must choose to believe, not doubt. He urged the congregation to come to Jesus with active, expectant faith for their own needs and for others, trusting that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever and is present to heal, deliver, and fill with the Holy Ghost.
