This week's sermon from Pastor John was all about faith and its foundation. We dove into Hebrews 11, which outlines how figures like Abraham and Noah were declared righteous through faith. Pastor John introduced us to the five "Solas" of the Reformation, focusing this week on "Scripture alone" and how it reveals a gracious God. We learned that our faith is not about a checklist of works, but about trust in God's promises, much like the Old Testament saints looked forward to Christ. The core message? Faith is our absolute trust in God's works and promises in our lives, supported by credible evidence like creation, scripture, and Jesus' resurrection. In every part of our lives, we should trust and focus on our eternal walk with God.
The takeaway: Our faith rests on God's promises and His proven trustworthiness throughout history. Through faith alone, we find hope and salvation.
