In this message Andrew Ward takes us on a deep dive into the subject of faith. With practical every day examples, he explores questions such as “What is biblical faith?” “Why do we please God with this kind of faith?” “What do we actually mean when we use phrases like ‘walk by faith and not by sight’, and ‘have faith in Jesus’?”

BIBLICAL FAITH IS…

…the heart attitude of confident, settled, unwavering belief that God will empower us and fulfil each promise He has made to us combined with utter trust, reliance, or dependence upon the person of God to actually empower us and fulfil those promises.

AM – Faith To Live During These Times

Amongst all the bad news of this world at times we feel like God doesn't hear us. It's okay to question God as to why things aren't happening. Even the prophet Habakkuk had complaints. But then he positioned himself to hear from God.

We need faith to live.

In this message Ps Rob explores faith as he preaches from the book of Habakkuk. Faith is far deeper than just getting our needs met. There’s overcoming faith, the fruit of faith, the gift of faith, the seed of faith that we grow over time. Faith is about trusting in God even when our needs aren't met. It’s trusting in what Jesus says about the situation.
