The Challenges Of Faith Acts 17:24-27

Faith On Purpose Conviction on principles (Heb. 11:1; 2 Cor. 5:7) A willingness to be steadfast (Heb. 10:23) Primary trust in God, not in man (1 Cor. 1:20-25) Enduring hardships through faith (Gal. 6:9)

Building Our Faith Two great sources of evidence for faith The created world This can be seen every day (Psa. 19:1-6) Has designed patterns (Gen. 8:22; Eccl. 1:5-7) This demands a designer (Gen. 1:1) The delivered word. It has been given for assurance (Psa. 19:7-11; Heb. 1:1-2). It is a record of proofs for faith (Jn. 20:30-31)

Factors for building faith Reading and studying (1 Tim. 4:13; 15-16) Be sure to handle aright (2 Tim. 15, ASV)

Keeping Our Faith God has not and will not change (James 1:17-22) That enables us to remain true and strong (Eph. 4:11-16) To know which way to go (Jer. 6:16) To stand in and for truth (2 Tim. 1:7-8)
