Abraham: Man of Faith
If you were asked to explain to someone how to live the Christian life in just two words, what you say? I say “by faith”. The Christian life is a life lived by faith. The apostle Paul said “The life I live… I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” Colossians 2:20. Believing and trusting God, for the Christian, is like breathing. We can’t live without it.
As a leadership team we felt particularly stirred by the radical call to faith found in the life of Abraham. Abraham was called to believe the outrageous, and trust God for some staggering promises such as “your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky”. For us as a church there are many faith steps ahead of us that need to be taken together and in faith. I pray that God might strengthen our faith and grow our courage as we learn from the one we call “our father in the faith”.
