We Walk By Faith outline

2 Corinthians 5:7 NASB95

7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—

Who is we?

What is faith?

Hebrews 11:1 KJV 1900

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

What is walk?

Walk means how we live, how we operate, lifestyle

Why we walk by faith

prove that we really trust him

and not just a blessing digger.

Lesson #1 - Living by faith does not take a day off. (Daily Walk)

Gravity does not take a day off, and I must deal with gravity every day

And I must deal with faith every day

no days without faith, No faith-less days

Lesson #2 – I must learn to adjust. (new walk)

gravity doe not adjust to me, I adjust to gravity

I pick up a small box by myself, but If I must move a large table . . . I have to adjust

can I get some of the young men to help me?

speaking of age . . . as I get older, dealing with

Lesson #3 - Use faith for everyday things. (add to #1)

you don’t have to wait for a time of crisis

learn to use faith in everyday things

just like we use gravity in everyday things, since it’s required . . . use it

I use it to pour myself a cup of water

I use gravity to toss the remote control to somebody (don’t have to get up and fight gravity)

We are missing chances to use faith

Did you that you can use faith in God for simple stuff?

one way is to ask God’s guidance in everything

Holy Spirit, which way should I drive home?

How can I pay for my child’s birthday party

give me wisdom to do a good job on this project

what should I eat today?

what should I wear today?

it’s late at night, should I stop at this gas station?

pray and have faith that he will prompt you and lead you

use faith for everyday things

Lesson #4 - use faith for bigger things. - difficult walks

Did you know that you can use faith to grow stronger in the Lord?

We use gravity to get stronger

Lift Weights to make me stronger, We purposely use gravity to get bigger muscles

how? we lift things that are heavy

Lesson #4 - caryy someone else walk - ministry

you don’t have to use faith only for yourself

JEsus Walked

How do I do faith?

put it into action

Praying and not worrying

I will call the church members to pray

Ask God for favor as I set up an appointment with . . .

Anoint my children, house

Give money when I need money myself

Keep going when I should give up

Fasting

Keep coming to church, keep praising

Be thankful

Turn in the application

Making a call

Coming up with a plan even though you don’t have money

Testifying in advance

If God did not require faith, everyone would follow him

if it was easy, everyone would do it

no real trust in him

one way to walk by faith is to be faithful in devotion

Daniel is an example of faithful devotional time
