Faith by Pastor Lai Leng Tukua

Intro:

• You’ve got to be gutsy to be a Christian.
• You can’t be a wimpy Christian.

Recap:

• James talked about St Peter:
• From Failure to Faith
• He was rough and tough (like a rugby player)
• Fiona talked about father Abraham. 
• Father of the faith
• Friend of God

James 2:19

• You believe there is one God?  Good!  But even the demons believe that, and shudder!
• They shudder, because they know they’re on the losing side.

What’s the difference between demons and us?

• They are in the spiritual realm; we are in the physical realm.
• We (all) were created in the image of God; free to choose sides.
• They have chosen to side with Satan; we are free to choose between Satan and Jesus.

Genesis 12:1

• “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household.  Go to the land I will show you.”
• Abraham had to be gutsy to leave Ur to go to some unknown destination.
• God asks the same of us, “Come follow Me!” (Matthew 10:37-39)
