Today, we are going to talk about two people whom God finds to have the greatest faith. One is a Canaanite woman, of whom He says, “Woman, your faith is great!” And the second person was actually a Roman officer. The Lord says, “It will be done to you according to your faith” (Matt. 9:29). You see, if my faith …
Faith … it is a word that has been misunderstood, misused, diluted and generalized. Faith has become synonymous to a person’s religious preference. In coming to grips with what is most important, let’s let faith not only be defined, but let’s press on until we let faith define us. “As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, …
How do we get the church out of the church and into the community where God wants it to be? “Dear brothers and sisters, what’s the use of saying you have faith if you don’t prove it by your actions? That kind of faith can’t save anyone” (James 2:14). Sideliners When I was younger, I was a sideliner. I wasn’t …
God delights to carry out His will through His children. God is looking for children who are in healthy relationship with Him through which He can carry out His will.

We do not like to be stretched because it forces us to make a decision. We have to understand that if God is …
As we develop a faith for our everyday lives, we especially want to extend that to our workplace — where we spend so much time and have such consistent contact with others. We may not realize it, but our employers, co-workers and customers can either be influenced, impacted by, imposed upon or annoyed by our faith. We may be the …
Nothing is more poignant and powerful as the names of God. Psalms 8:1 says, “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name …” When it says God’s name is excellent, it means we serve an excellent God. His name is who He is. His name is His character. Healing is God’s Design God’s character is to heal. Whatever He …
God is our Redeemer. All of man’s inventions come back to what God teaches us in His creation. He creates things because of who He is — the Redeemer. And everything that He touches, He redeems. When God creates things, there’s that DNA of redemption because He is the Redeemer and His fingerprints are on everything. God is a Redeemer …
Because faith comes from hearing, if we want faith for something, we have to hear about it.
