Sermon by Doug Lambert

This week’s sermon is about fear and faith.

“If Jesus said that we can hear the voice of God, why can’t we?”

This is cause, we are scared. Actually, fear is nothing more than faith in the wrong way.
We get to choose whether to believe a lie or the word of God

Romans 8: 14 -17
“.. 14because those who are led by the spirit of God, are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the spirit of sonship. And by him we cry “Abba father”. 16The spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are heirs – heirs of God and coheirs with Christ, if indeed we share his sufferings in order that we may also share his glory.

Isaiah 7:12
“But Ahaz said: “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.”

Faith establishes a man and allows his to make decisions. Fear keeps us from getting what God wants to give us. God wants to speak to a heart that is ready to listen. We must be ready to listen to God’s voice and obey. Many a times, we are afraid that God wants us to do something we don’t want to do. But we must obey and miracles can take place.

“Man does not live by bread alone, but by the word of God.”

After we carry out God’s will, we would like to do it again and again. However, when we posses things, we prevent God from doing what he wants to. As you answer to God’s voice each time you hear it, faith will begin to rise up in you.
You will never know until you try it!

Are you ready to listen to God’s voice and obey him?”
