Overboard: Stepping Out Into a Life of Faith

Here's our working definition of faith for this month:
Trusting in what you can't see because of what you can see.

What does it mean to have faith? Is it just a church word that really doesn't make a difference in who you are or how you live? Can a person live by faith yet deny the foundations of it? In this series we will go Overboard with facts about faith and the difference having or not having it makes in your everyday life.

Week 1 When Faith Changes Your Life

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Romans 10:17 Who wouldn't say, "I'd like to have more faith in my life!" this first week will look at: What is faith? What are the benefits? What will it do for me? What difference can it make in my life?

Week 2 Facing Your Fears Through Faith

"The Israelites looked up and there were the Egyptians and they were terrified and they cried out to the Lord." Exodus 14:10 What is it that has you terrified, or as we would say it today, scared to death? There's always the lurking 'what ifs' in life when we just don't know what to do next. Maybe, just maybe, God's setting you up for a miracle!

Week 3 Believing Through the Life of Christ

Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you". Matthew 9:29 What are you expecting from God? Do you really believe He can and will deliver or is just a pipe dream and something He would do for others but not for you? We will discover that God's best is realized through a life lived through faith in Christ.

Week 4 When Faith's Foundations Crumble

"But those who listen and don't obey are like a man who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it crumbles into a heap of ruins." Luke 6:49 We will take an in depth look at God and Country during this Independence Day message. Are we still "one nation under God"? What would that look like in our culture today? Don't miss this powerful conclusion to this series as we encourage the people of God to return to the values God prescribed for us long ago.
