“Into God-Given Relationships”

Timeless

Hebrews 11
“ … without faith it is impossible to please God ... ”
“ … He rewards … ”
“ … confidence … assurance … about what we do not see. ”

Faith
	Believing and trusting

Believing 
	Understanding we have a broken relationship with God
	Understanding that God offers grace to reconcile through Jesus
	“ … so do the demons”
	Surrendering, by faith, our lives to Jesus
	The Holy Spirit resides in our lives to guide and instruct

Trusting 
Seeing like God sees

God allows things that blow up (challenge) or grow up (deepen) our faith!
	Practical truth 
	God-given relationships

Human relationships can have a positive or negative impact on faith

It is about %

God uses people so our faith…
	Shrinks our troubles (Numbers 13:27b-28, 31-32; Genesis 18:14a; Luke 1:37)
	Is ready for a miracle (Numbers 13:33; Mark 11:22-24, Matthew 17:20-21; Luke 17:5-6)
	Moves God to act on our behalf (Numbers 14:1; Matthew 9:29)
	Opens the promises of God (Numbers 14:2; 2 Corinthians 1:20a)
	Turns God-given dreams into reality (Numbers 14:3; Ephesians 3:20)
	Gives us the power to hold on in tough times (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

Faith is seeing like God sees!
