Sermon Notes from Rev Casey Treat

FAITH FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE - 30 Aug 08

Mark 9:22/23
If only you can believe, all things are possible, God can do what I can believe, see my will and acceptance what I believe.

Rom 1:16
Gospel is powerful and will work to those who believe…not for everyone but to those who believe. Everywhere we go, we need faith.

Eph 2:8
Grace is coming out to all but if we don’t use the faith, we cannot have or receive it and grace will not work in us.

Mark 6:2-5
We take risks and God give grace, by faith we can do it.

John 6:29
Rom 10:8,9
Paul preached about faith (it is in our mouth and in our heart) – we must believe in our heart and confess with our mouth.

James 1:5-8
Faith makes the way and it will show God’s manifestation. Faith is not a feeling but choice / decision that we have to make. When we are in doubt, often, we want God to explain to us. If doubt seeps in, we will lose our faith…so choose to believe.
A double-minded person is an unstable person

2 Tim 1:7
God give me power, love and a sound mind.

3 areas
1) Faith is our connection.
Faith is also trusting what God will bring to us: success

2) Faith change the negative.

3) Faith will frame the future.
