FAITH TO CHANGE

Trinity’s Values

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG)

BY FAITH YOU STEP OUT
“It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going.” Hebrews 11:8 (NLT)

Look At The First Step – And Not The Whole Journey
Look At God – And Not Yourself
Look At The Blessings – And Not The Struggles

II. BY FAITH YOU STAY
“And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in a tent. And so did Isaac and Jacob, to whom God gave the same promise. Abraham did this because he was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God.” Hebrews 11:9-10 (NLT)

III. BY FAITH YOU SUCCEED
“It was by faith that Sarah together with Abraham was able to have a child, even though they were too old and Sarah was barren. Abraham believed that God would keep his promise. And so a whole nation came from this one man, Abraham, who was too old to have any children—a nation with so many people that, like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.” Hebrews 11:11-12 (NLT)

3 Ways To React When We Must Wait For God’s Promise:
Eliezer: I'll Have To Settle For Less
Ishmael: I'll Have To Get It Myself
Isaac: I'll Choose To Trust In God

IV. BY FAITH YOU SACRIFICE
“It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God's promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, though God had promised him, "Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.” Abraham assumed that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again.” Hebrews 11:17-19 (NLT)
“There Abram built another altar to the LORD and worshiped him.” Genesis 12:8 (NCV)

Ephesians 5:2 “Live a life filled with love for others following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins.”
