In this episode we pause and take a moment to read from the book Biblical Faith, by Kenneth E Haggin

Faith vs. Hope: How to Access God’s Promises (Romans 4:16–22)Jonathan teaches from Romans 4:16–22 that God’s promises are accessed through faith, not merely hope, using Abraham as the model of steadfast trust in God’s word despite impossible circumstances. He explains that belief and faith are different—belief can exist without action, but faith produces action—and says faith grows by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Jonathan discusses being grafted in through Christ, the role of free will in receiving from God, and how faith affects both what believers do and what they say. He urges listeners to align with God’s will in Scripture, reject passivity justified by “sovereignty,” and actively co-labor with God in areas like healing, provision, and peace.00:00 Abraham Father of Faith00:35 Promises Accessed by Faith02:01 God Calls Things Forth02:57 Grafted Into Abraham05:14 Belief Versus Faith06:13 Faith Comes by Hearing07:22 Abraham Hope to Action11:41 Mustard Seed Growth12:55 Building Targeted Faith15:38 Faith and Free Will17:45 Faith Changes Your Words20:34 Facts Versus Faith23:43 Co Laboring Not Passive25:34 Faith Examples and Wrap

Jonathan leads the group to stand and praise God aloud, teaching that praise invites God’s presence and that Christian faith is meant to be vocal, not silent. He introduces the core idea that hope sees what God has promised while faith responds to what God has already said, using everyday examples to show that faith is tangible “substance” expressed through action. From Hebrews 11:1, he explains that hope and faith work together—hope paints the target and faith pursues it—and connects hope to God’s covenant promises in Scripture. Jonathan defines believing “in your heart” as deep-rooted conviction, noting a person can have mental doubt while still holding faith, and emphasizes renewing the mind with God’s Word, which he calls God’s will for life.00:00 Praise Before Prayer00:40 Guided Worship Moment02:26 Faith Is Vocal03:51 Hope Versus Faith05:50 Write Your Hope List06:25 Hebrews 11 Explained07:07 Faith Has Substance09:01 Hope Sets The Target11:09 Promises And Covenants12:35 Believe With Your Heart15:45 Doubt Versus Unbelief16:19 Gods Word Is His Will17:25 Closing Hope And Faith

Show Information:In this After Sermon Podcast episode, Pastor Jonathan is joined by Emma, Jules, and Josue, who share their testimonies of coming to faith and serving in ministry.The conversation follows the message from 1 Timothy 1:12–20 (especially 18–20) on the danger of a “shipwreck” life—understood as total loss—and how compromise often begins with small tolerances. Using Samson’s story (Judges 13–16), they discuss how calling does not replace character, how delayed consequences can make sin feel safe, and how Samson didn’t realize the Lord had left him after repeated micro-decisions. They also emphasize God’s grace and the possibility of restoration, though often with real costs, urging listeners to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit, practice dependence on God, take thoughts captive, and pursue daily obedience.Episode Time Stamp:00:00 Welcome and Guests00:37 Emma Testimony03:15 Jules Faith Journey06:55 Sowe Background and Calling10:31 Sermon Recap Shipwreck12:03 Samson Nazarite Calling13:45 Calling Versus Character20:49 Compromise Feels Safe24:14 Delilah and Downfall24:57 Samson Lost Presence25:49 Repentance And Reverence26:32 Healthy Fear Of God27:19 Compromise Costs Life29:08 Sin Always Has Catch29:53 Grace And Giver33:18 Shipwreck Not Final36:29 Restoration Has Cost37:38 Dependence And Quiet41:13 Prayer And Takeaway
