This sermon on faith takes a close look at 5 levels of faith displayed in the story of a father whose child Jesus healed. Faith may start with a search for a miracle. But that is never enough. Real faith is a desperate turning to the right source for help. That right source for life and eternity is Jesus Christ. But faith must move beyond desperation to trusting obedience.
"Look up! Lift up your heads!" says this sermon on faith. Jesus still lives; the Holy Spirit is yet at work; God is still on the throne. Things may go so terribly wrong that the holiest center of life seems violated and defiled and spoiled. Look up. This is the worst and most sinister danger: that we, looking down, will be content to live in the lowlands of doubt and fear and defeat.
The story of Gideon, the story of a man brought by God from despondency to victory, provides a rich lesson for us. This sermon on faith examines Gideon's transformation and asks if we, too, have begun to realize that all God is asking is that we go in the strength that we have, and recognize that He is with us. That's all we need to do.
