God is a God who does great things. He heals bodies. He restores marriages. He breaks chains. He cleans up financial messes. But what God is really after is followers…disciples. Jesus is described as healing many people in the Bible…Bartimaeus is one of the few described as following Jesus after his miracle. Here’s a guy to learn from. Life dealt him a bad hand…but he didn’t let that – or people for that matter – keep him away from Jesus. He did what he had to do to bring his faith to Jesus, and Jesus changed his life forever.
“The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see.” Hebrews 11:1 (MSG)
Faith is the currency of the Kingdom of God. We need faith to enter the Kingdom, and indeed, every transaction requires faith. How Firm a Foundation is a series of sermons which examines tales of faith in the New Testament. These are real stories, with elements to emulate and mistakes to learn from. You will walk away with a realistic view of faith and practical principles for everyday life.
