Sabbath 6-10-17 Seventh Day Baptist Edgewater Pastor Keith M. sermon “Faith That Pleases God” Hebrews 11;1-6

 

 

Everyone has faith. Faith is in our lives and it is part of our everyday living. We get prescriptions from doctors and take the medication. That’s faith. When we get on an airplane to fly somewhere, we have faith in the pilot. When we mail a letter, we have faith in the post office. Buddhist people have faith in Buddha and so do the other “religions”. Everyone lives by faith in various ways. Our scripture says “faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen”. Faith means we keep our eyes on the God that controls everything and every issue and NOT keep our eyes on the issues.

 

**Faith is Not blind faith:

If we see a building, we know there was a building designer. So when we look at the earth and all the things in it, we know there was a Creator. God. Christian faith is supported by biblical fact, testimonies, eye witnesses and the Word of God. Studying the Bible will give you faith and wisdom.

 

**Faith does Not make God give us everything we want:

Biblical faith doesn’t believe that God will do what we say but it believes that God will do what He said. His Will.

 

**Faith is Not the keeping of Christian rules and regulations:

Faith is not a neat little set of rules. Faith is a personal relationship with a personal God. Walking in faith is walking with God.

**Faith that is Pleasing to God**

 

1) Faith causes us to worship God.

We will be obedient to God and have honest worship. We should be drawn to worship God with all our heart and soul. Enoch was taken away by God because he pleased God. He walked so close to God that he pleased God and God took him home.

 

2) Faith is to be walking with God.

We should walk with God daily in everything and this pleases God. Noah and his sons took 100 years to build the Ark and they walked with God. Faith let them be able to see things that others could not see.

 

3) Faith is to wait on God.

Abraham waited on God for his son and waited on God for the Promised Land. Our faith may require us to wait. When we have prayed all that we can pray, the greatest part of our belief in God is that we wait in faith on God. With Faith we look forward to the coming Messiah. With Faith we wait on Jesus to come back.

 

All of these elements of Faith is what pleases God.

 

AMEN

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
