This message was preached by Pastor Jesse Boyd on December 8, 2024 to New Testament Christian Fellowship in Conover, NC. It exegetically addresses 1:6-8 in the larger exposition of the Epistle of James by the shared teaching of the NTCF Elders.
Genuine faith works when it is conditioned to acknowledge (1:5a) to ask (1:5b), and to AVER (1:6-8). He who avers asks of the Lord confidently, asserting the truth without equivocation. He who asks in faith, nothing wavering, DOES NOT act before he asks, come before the Lord with his mind already made up, or hatch contingency plans. He who asks in faith, nothing wavering, DOES make simple and honest requests, continues instant in prayer, is willing to wait, and keeps occupied instead of preoccupied.
When we ask the LORD for wisdom amidst a trial or testing of our faith, we can look for that wisdom and find it in the Scriptures, godly counsel, and the ensuing circumstances of Divine Providence. God never guides where He does not provide. In the multitude of counsellors there is safety. And, as once stated so eloquently by Confederate General Robert E. Lee: “In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible had never failed to give me light and strength.”

This message was preached by Pastor Jesse Boyd on May 19, 2024 at New Testament Christian Fellowship in Conover, North Carolina. It is an introduction to Hebrews Chapter 11 in the larger exposition of the Book of Hebrews by the shared teaching of the NTCF Elders and its missionaries.
Is Hebrews 11 a stand-alone chapter? Is it just a “Who’s Who” of Old Testament examples to be admired on flannelgraph, in church pageants, and during the Sunday School hour? Or, does the greater context of the chapter demand more, especially for us living in these last days? No, the “Hall of Faith,” isn’t just a trophy case of examples to be paid lip service and an occasional reference. It’s the “them” of Hebrews 10:39 “that believe to the saving of the soul.” It contains TESTIMONIES to be EMULATED and REPEATED today as we forsake not the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). We must know them. We must remember them. We must emulate this genuine faith, looking always to Jesus, the author and finisher of such faith.
