Week 4: When Faith Comes

Church At The Bridge Sermon Podcasts

This message delves into the intricate dynamics of faith, elucidating the profound truth encapsulated in Romans 10:17: "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." Drawing a poignant analogy of sifting sand mixed with pebbles, it underscores that true faith isn't mere reception but an active engagement with the Word. Through the story of Peter, whose transformation from a flawed fisherman to a pillar of faith illustrates the journey from mere reception to genuine understanding and action, we learn that the condition of our hearts determines the fruitfulness of our faith. Whether our hearts are hard, troubled, or crowded with distractions, the key lies in nurturing a hearing heart—one that not only receives but accepts and acts upon the Word, leading to exponential growth in faith and life deeply rooted in God's truth.
