Belief
Be - it is, it is real
Lief - willingly, to live
You believe in God, but the real question is "do you believe God". Belief is action!
When we believe God, it changes who we are, what we believe and what we do. Danny Dodge.
What do I believe?
I think sometimes we don’t want to share Christ because we really don’t know what we believe.
We don’t know how to navigate our christian walk because we don’t know what to believe.
Is sickness from God?
Does God want us all rich?
Are miracles still for today?
Do only certain people get the full power of God in their lives?
What should I believe?
Jesus challenged religious authority!
Mark 11 Jesus challenges the religious leaders.
I think you should challenge your religious mindsets and preconceived ideas.
A lot of my catholic friends have told me they don’t have to read their bible…
We had a man come to our church years ago when I was just a snot nosed teenager. He preached that sunday that his ministry needed $100,000 for his ministry to do what God had called his ministry to do. He said “we already have $10,000 and only need 90k more.” And then he said I believe there are 90 people here today that God is calling to give $1000… and if you do I believe God will bless you a hundred fold…. we went to lunch after church and I asked him about it… and he assured me he absolutely believed that. So I said then why don’t you just give our church your $10K and God will bless you a hundred fold… You guessed it, he couldn’t answer me.
Mark 12 Jesus challenges secular authority.
Are you willing to believe God even if it flys in the face of the secular mindset?
love at all costs
pro life, what about rape, what about teenage mothers what about…
Sex before marriage is wrong
Homosexuality is a sin
DO YOUR BELIEFS CHALLENGE SECULAR AUTHORITY? IF NOT… YOU MAY WANT TO DO A BELIFE CHECK!
Matthew 16:24 Jesus challenges your authority… pick up your cross and daily follow me.
It’s easy to believe what works for us… but when it just doesn’t exactly fit our narrative… well it’s easy to fudge on our beliefs.
I belive in the word of God… Do you tithe? Well, uh, um see right now I uh…
Help me believe?
Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
And then what does Jesus do? He helps the mans unbelief by casting out the demon and healing his son.
So you have trouble believing certain things in Gods word… Ask God to help you to believe.
God didn’t tell this guy “just believe”. Nope he honored his honesty and showed him why he could believe.
What is an area in your life you need help believing? Then ask God to help you believe! and watch what he does!
Years ago there was a cute Christian t shirt going around. It said “God said it, I believe it, that settles it”.
But the truth is, God said it, that settles it. Wether or not we believe it doesn’t matter. But it does make life easier if we do actually believe it.
