Martin Luther once wrote: “Faith is a LIVING, busy, active, mighty thing...It is impossible for it not to be doing good works incessantly. It does not ask whether good works are to be done, but before the question is asked, it has already done them, and is constantly doing them.” Join us today as we study where he got this idea from in Romans 4 and James 2!
In the third part of our study on Faith, we come to the part of the story where a desperate father asks Jesus "IF" He can help. This reveals a condition in which we all find ourselves: When we come to Jesus we know we must rely upon Him but at the same time we discover we cannot stop relying upon ourselves. This paradox is what we are calling: "Faithing". You are invited to join us as we walk in this reality together!
What is faith? Bible students love to hurry to Hebrews 11:1 to answer this question. “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This is Scripture’s true answer, but now compare it with another Scripture: “And Jesus said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease,’” --Mark 5:34. Jesus was talking to the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. Does this mean it was her “assurance” and “conviction” that made her well? Does this then also mean that people who are NOT healed of their diseases then LACK such conviction? Before you answer, consider carefully and join us for a study of Scripture’s answer to “What is Faith?”
