From the Pastor:
FBC Dayton Family,
Faith! Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as; “..faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” In other words, faith is something that we have assurance of even though we cannot see it, feel it, or hold it!
In Mark there is a boy that has an evil spirit and his dad brings the young man to Jesus for healing. He had first brought him to the disciples but they could not cast the evil spirit out.
The dad says to Jesus, “If you can (heal him), have pity on us and help us”.
Jesus seized upon the phrase, “If you can”. If you can… I am afraid many of us live in the “If you can” world of following Jesus. We don’t trust Him enough!
Jesus then replied, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
Another passage says, “Without faith it is impossible to please Him”. Faith is necessary to please God!
The Bible says, “Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.””
The dad admits that there is “some doubt” in his heart. He says, I believe to a point, but I would be less than honest if I said I had all faith!” But even in his confession of a lack of faith he goes to the one that can help, “help my unbelief”!
Do we believe that God can provide for us personally? As a church? Can he add to the church? Can He use us to reach our community? He can… but we must believe! Lord help my unbelief!
Pastor Bob
