The UnTypical series continued with Dave D giving the message today. The theme: UnTypical Faith. Here are the scuds:
- We all have an "I told you so" story. Most of us, if we're honest, when we look back to "I told you so's," we wish we would have listened.
- What if it all comes down to one simple question? Who do you say that I am? (Matthew 16:15-16)
- It is impossible to please God without faith. (Hebrews 11:6)
- In every single circumstance we face, is an opportunity to respond to who we really think God is.
- God has a way of putting you and I in situations where we can either advance in faith, or retreat in fear.
- Faith that's untypical will always involve risk.
- Every single circumstance involves the unknown. The key isn't avoiding the "perhaps" it's where you place the "perhaps." (1 Samuel 14:6-7)
- We all face a "perhaps." You can place it on your outcome, or you can place it on your God.
- Some of us will never complete our faith because we'll never act on what we believe about our God.
- Faith is never simply a confession of our lips. It's an expression of our life.
- Faith always requires more than a commitment. It requires surrender.
- What's happening TO you in life is never as important as what God is doing IN you.
Next week: UnTypical Courage.
