The theme: UnTypical Faith. Here are the scuds: <ul><li>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.</li><li>What if it all comes down to one simple question? Who do you say that I am? (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%2016:15-16&version=51">Matthew 16:15-16</a>)</li><li>It is impossible to please God without faith. (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=hebrews%2011:6;&version=51;">Hebrews 11:6</a>)</li><li>In every single circumstance we face, is an opportunity to respond to who we really think God is.</li><li>God has a way of putting you and I in situations where we can either advance in faith, or retreat in fear. </li><li>Faith that's untypical will always involve risk.</li><li>Every single circumstance involves the unknown. The key isn't avoiding the "perhaps" it's where you place the "perhaps." (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20sam%2014:6-7;&version=51;">1 Samuel 14:6-7</a>)</li><li>We all face a "perhaps." You can place it on your outcome, or you can place it on your God.</li><li>Some of us will never complete our faith because we'll never act on what we believe about our God.</li><li>Faith is never simply a confession of our lips. It's an expression of our life.</li><li>Faith always requires more than a commitment. It requires surrender. </li><li>What's happening TO you in life is never as important as what God is doing IN you.</li></ul>Next week: UnTypical Courage.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Read more...</div>John Bunnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15639835511835537582noreply@blogger.com
