Series: Facing Life with Faith

Hebrews 11:6
Aren't you glad that we are in an army that never has to retreat? We always move forward in faith. And that is the topic and the theme of this series of messages, forward in faith. To be broken and spilled out, all that we are to the Lord and to move forward against any obstacle, against any foe, as a church body and as individuals in our Christian walk.
I want you to turn to Hebrews 11:6 as we begin a series today entitled Facing Life With Faith. There are two handles by which you can grasp the unknown future. You can either grasp it by the handle of fear and say what is going to happen, or you can grasp it by the handle of faith and know that God is in control because you commit it to Him.

Love thy neighbor as thyself. The other is faith. It is impossible to please God apart from faith. According to your faith, Jesus said, so be it unto you. Thank God He didn ...
