Real Faith in Action
What is faith? Believing certain things about God? Yes, but much more. It is a conviction that the things about God are true and real and for me. But it's even more than that! It involves action...trusting...a vital connection with the person of Christ. Matthew illustrates Real Faith in Action with a series of people interacting with Jesus in an intensely packed section which we will examine in this sermon.
Matthew 9:18-38
Hebrews 11:6
Mark 5:36
Romans 10:17
James 2:19
