Hebrews 12:2 – The Author and Finisher of Faith

Hebrews 12:2 – The Author and Finisher of Faith

This Week’s Theme: Faith – by Ken Turner, May 22, 2018

Hebrews 12:2

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Thought for today…

Jesus not only wants us to live by faith, He is the “author” of faith. He is the original pioneer of a faith-filled life. Christ is our role model, and our example to follow. He is also the “finisher” of faith. He perfected faith as a trait we can embrace and continue to cultivate in our spiritual walk. Don’t try to live a productive Christian life ignoring the need to put your faith into practice. What are you doing yourself that you could hand over to God, asking Him in faith, to bring a greater result?

Hebrews 11:1 – Faith Is The Substance

Hebrews 11:1 – Faith Is The Substance

This Week’s Theme: Faith – by Ken Turner, May 21, 2018

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Thought for today…

Faith is the foundation of hope and joy. It is our confidence and our strength. Faith is the belief in everything God promises. He is good, He will provide, and He will deliver on every promise He has made to us as His children. Our faith produces a joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Ephesians 6:16 – Faith Is Your Shield

Ephesians 6:16 – Faith Is Your Shield

This Week’s Theme: Faith – by Ken Turner, May 18, 2018

Ephesians 6:16

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Thought for today…

Your shield of faith should be carried with you daily. A helmet protects the head, a breastplate protects the vital organs, but a shield is held and can be moved in any direction. Satan, the enemy, will attack on every side when he sees you are vulnerable. He will shoot his “fiery darts” of temptation. Never underestimate the power of being grounded in your faith. A faith unwavering in belief in the power and goodness of God.

II Corinthians 5:7 – We Walk By Faith Not By Sight

II Corinthians 5:7 – We Walk By Faith Not By Sight

This Week’s Theme: Faith – by Ken Turner, May 17, 2018

II Corinthians 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight:

Thought for today…

We need “faith” for the journey we travel in this world. We will have “sight” when we join our heavenly father in heaven. For the time being, we walk by faith while we are here, and we will have sight when we are there.  

I Corinthians 2:5 – Faith In God… Not Men

I Corinthians 2:5 – Faith In God… Not Men

This Week’s Theme: Faith – by Ken Turner, May 16, 2018

I Corinthians 2:5

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Thought for today…

What if all you had was God? If He was your source for wisdom, your only provider, your protector, your healer and your friend. Would He be enough? Yes… He absolutely would be enough. Safeguard your heart and make sure you know what it means to trust God and stand in His wisdom… not the wisdom of men. 

Romans 10:17 – Faith Comes by Hearing The Word of God

Romans 10:17 – Faith Comes by Hearing The Word of God

This Week’s Theme: Faith – by Ken Turner, May 15, 2018

Romans 10:17

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Thought for today…

The beginning of your faith journey starts with hearing. It’s not enough to hear enticing words of other men about God… but to hear the word of God and recognize it as the WORD OF GOD. The word of God is called the word of faith. Read and listen to God’s word and with an open heart enlarge the boundaries of your personal faith.
