Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places - Asleep in the Boat Mark 4:35-41 (NIV)“That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side.' Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, don't you care if we drown?' He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!' Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?' They were terrified and asked each other, ‘Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!'” 1. Jesus says to them, “Let's go over to the other side…” 1 John 4:17-18 (ESV)By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 2. Responses to Fear in Life.1. Evasion2. Control3. Engagement4. Faith Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
The race that Christians run is not a sprint, but a marathon. It is going to take discipline and endurance. We must set aside those things which hold us back, and focus on Jesus who has gone before us to help us finish the race. Teacher: Matt Burleson

Faith without works is dead. Faith without works is not a real faith, and that is demonstrated throughout Hebrews 11. Those who are commended for their faith in Hebrews 11, like Noah, are commended because they acted on their faith.

This exposition focuses on Hebrews 13:7-9, emphasizing the characteristics of a faithful Christian. The passage encourages believers to remember their leaders who have spoken the Word of God, consider the outcome of their lives, and imitate their faith. It also highlights the unchanging nature of Jesus Christ and warns against being led away by diverse and strange teachings, urging Christians to be strengthened by grace.Key PointsRemembering Leaders: Christians are called to remember and consider their local leaders who faithfully teach God's Word. These leaders are examples of faith and practice, and their lives should reflect a love for and devotion to God's Word.Imitating Faith: Believers are encouraged to imitate the faith of their leaders, not because they are perfect, but because their lives point to Christ. This includes observing their doctrine and how they live it out.Christ's Unchanging Nature: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This truth provides stability and assurance for Christians, especially in times of hardship and change.Warning Against False Teachings: Christians are warned not to be led away by diverse and strange teachings. Instead, they should rely on the grace of God for spiritual strength, rather than outward practices or traditions.ApplicationPray for and support local church leaders who faithfully teach God's Word.Examine the lives and teachings of leaders to ensure they align with Scripture.Hold firmly to the unchanging truth of Jesus Christ and His Word.Be cautious of teachings that deviate from the gospel and rely on God's grace for spiritual growth.
Perhaps the greatest thing that could be said about a person’s legacy is that “they walked with God.” This morning, Enoch inspires us as a man who did just that, and didn’t taste the bitterness of death because of his walk of faith. Teacher: Matt Burleson

"The Interesting Case of Isaac's Faith" • Hebrews 11:20 - Elder Bryce Lowrance. Ignoring the declaration of God before Jacob and Esau are born that the elder would serve the younger, Isaac continually favors Esau as the firstborn. Even when he think he is going to die, Isaac tries to bless Esau but accidentally blesses Jacob. When he realizes that he has gone against God's will, Issac trembles and then ultimately declares in faith that Isaac will be blessed as the promised one.
"Abraham's Trial of Faith" • Hebrews 11:17-19 - Elder Bryce Lowrance. Through one of the most striking trials of faith we find in the Bible, we learn that walking by faith is not blind faith like many describe it. Abraham did not toss out reason when he willingly offered up Isaac. He reasoned that God would raise him from the dead since he was the promised son. We do not have to take blind leaps of faith either. We have the will of God revealed to us in His word, the Bible. We are called to trust the promises of God and understand that His promises are true!

Today's Bible Verse: "Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds," - Hebrews 10:22-24 “Want to listen without ads?

In "By Faith," Lucas Crawford delves into the book of Hebrews, offering insights relevant to modern believers by exploring how faith intertwines with doctrine. He explains that while first-century Jews had tangible expressions of faith through the Temple's sacrificial system, today our faith operates in the unseen. Crawford emphasizes that our faith is evidenced in spiritual battles, in our endurance through trials, and in our testimonies, all of which affirm the truth of God's Word. This sermon encourages viewers to recognize the manifestations of faith in their lives as proof of its reality, urging a deeper commitment to living out one's beliefs in the natural world as reflections of the unseen spiritual truths.Verse References: Hebrews 10 verses 19-25Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
