Faith Introduction Lecture 1: The Reason we Preach Faith Lecture 2: The Definition of Faith . Lecture 3: Seven Great Faith Builders Lecture 4: Foolishness, Presumption or Faith Lecture 5: The Degrees of Faith Lecture 6: The Process of Faith – Part One Lecture 7: The Process of Faith – Part Two

Faith Real Christianity has real tangible faith. Faith-building is probably one of the most important aspects of Christian ministry for this generation. It involves specific areas of knowledge such as ‘knowing’ God and trusting explicitly in His character, and skills development in terms of pleasing God, using Gods spiritual amour, living by faith, believing, acting on the Word and deliberately building faith.

Faith This book also deals with ‘degrees’ of faith ranging from ‘no faith’ to ‘great faith.’ Faith is never static. There can never be a true Christian church with no faith. Dependent on leadership and teaching (or lack of it) faith will always grow or diminish. When the Apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith, their request was one of maturity. Never lose sight of the fact that growth in faith is directly proportionate to our intensity of fellowship with God and our delight in the Word of God. Hunger and thirst for the presence of God will determine by what degree our faith increases.
