Heb 12:2-3
“Let us fix our eyes on
Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith, who
for the joy set before him
endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and
sat down at the right
hand of the throne of
God. Consider him who
endured such opposition
from sinful men, so that
you will not grow weary
and lose heart.”
YES, let’s
keep our eyes on

Today’s
Message:
Biblical
FAITH
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is being sure of
what we hope for and
certain of what we do not
see.”
“…
is being sure of
what we hope for
&
certain of what
we do not see
.”
Hebrews 11:6
“And without faith it is
impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes
to him must believe that he
exists and that he rewards
those who earnestly seek
him.”
Peter’s
Commendation
to Believers
“Though you have not seen him
(Jesus), you love him; and even
though you do not see him now,
you believe in him and are filled
with an inexpressible and
glorious joy…”
1 Pet 1:8
Phyllis Haislip’s
Testimony
Biblical Faith
is not “BLIND FAITH”
God provides evidence!
Romans 1:20
“For since the creation of the
world God's invisible
qualities — his eternal power
and divine nature — have
been clearly seen,
being understood from what
has been made, so that men
are without excuse.”
How does having
Biblical Faith
impact a person?
Habakkuk 2:4b
Galatians 3:11b
“… the righteous will
live by his faith…”
A literal translation:
“Out of one’s faith a
righteous person lives.”
