Sermon Recap: The Importance of Faith

Faith is more than just saying “I believe.” It’s trusting God enough to take action. We opened with the story of the tightrope walker who asked a man from the crowd to get into his wheelbarrow. Believing from the sidelines was easy—but true faith meant climbing in.

Hebrews 11 shows us that faith is “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Faith is trusting God’s promises even when we can’t see the outcome. Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Rahab all showed faith by obeying God even when it seemed uncertain or risky.

Faith isn’t wishful thinking—it’s confident trust in God’s Word. It acts, obeys, sacrifices, and endures. Hebrews 12 reminds us to throw off sin, run with perseverance, and fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
