  1. The Faith Life the Journey of Abraham

  2. “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”” Romans 1:16-17 NLT

  3. THE FAITH LIFEis a life lived focused on growing in relationship with the One who’s made us, rather than focusing on religious, moral or spiritual codes of conduct.

  4. the Fifth Dimension The Faith Life: the Journey of Abraham

  5. Show Me the Promise The PAY DAY! There’s a moment where privately held faith gives birth to a very public promise. “The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would…Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born.” Genesis 21:1-2, 5 NLT

  6. Faith can’t change the outcome, until it first changes your outlook. “When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do...” Romans 4:18 MSG

  7. The Migration of Faith The Promise is only as strong as the one making it.

  8. The Migration of Faith There are two things you have to be assured of to live the Faith Life; ABILITY and WILLINGNESS.

  9. “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:31-32 NKJV

  10. The Migration of Faith Faith is a trust, confidence and wholehearted reliance on the character and ability of God as expressed from Scripture. For faith to have its fullest expression, it must migrate from the Promise to the Promisor.

  11. Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child.” Nor did he survey Sarah’s decades of infertility and give up. He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. That’s why it is said, “Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right.” But it’s not just Abraham; it’s also us!The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless. The sacrificed Jesus made us fit for God, set us right with God.” Romans 4:19-25 MSG
