Today we are going to talk about the issue of faith. Romans 1:17 – Galatians 3:11 – Hebrews 10:38 …The just shall live by faith … Habakkuk 2:4 …the just shall live by his faith. Faith confuses a lot of people. Heb 11 – faith is substance, verse 6 says it is impossible to please God without it, Jesus repeatedly said the disciples had little faith but when (Luke 17) they asked Him to increase their faith He said you only need a little faith like a mustard seed. Many people refer to any religion or “spirituality” as faith. Growing up we are told to have faith in ourselves.

Just having faith is not good enough.

This is message number one of the new series of talks we’re in called “The Core”. What I want to do during this series is talk about a few topics that are the foundation to a Christian life.

Some people would say that these are topics are basic Christian beliefs. I disagree with that. To say that they are basic could imply that they are simple or insignificant. To say that they are basic could mean that you already know about it and don’t need to hear it again.

But these core issues, these core beliefs are really the foundation for all other Christian beliefs and viewpoints. These are a prerequisite for other spiritual/biblical principles and truth.

If you don’t understand and get a firm foundation of these topics, then the other spiritual truths you may learn will and up being unstable.

SO LET’S GET INTO IT!

This weekend, Easter, is so special and important to the Christian faith. This is a time when we can on-purpose, collectively focus on and remember what Jesus did for us.
