Message for December 8, 2019 from Pastor Shirley

Old church hymn with a great message:

Living by faith in Jesus , trusting, confiding in His great love; from all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I’m living by faith and feel no alarm. I care not what the morrow may bring, if shadow or sunshine or rain, the Lord I know ruelth o’er everything, and all my worry is vain. Living by faith in Jesus above, trusting, confiding in His great love; From all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I’m living by faith and feel no alarm I know that He safely will carry me through, No matter what evils betide; Why should I then care though the tempest may blow, When Jesus walks close to my side. 

Paul said in Galatians 2:20 that the life he lived in his mortal body was by faith in Jesus Christ.  Romans 1:17 “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 

In Hebrews 11, we see the greatest testimony of the Bible of faith, in the life of Abraham.  Abraham knew what it meant to live a life directed by faith, and what it means to be “living by faith.”  And we see that throughout the stages of his life, Abraham believed God. 

As sons and daughters of God we are called to live a life of faith just as Abraham. With the dawning of each new day we walk by faith trusting and confiding in His great love for each and everyone of us.
