Radical Faith
Introduction
There are two words connected to faith
Faith
++Denotes confidence or trust
++Speaks of an expressed belief
Obedient to _The Faith_
The Faith was
++The gospel content
++The way of salvation
We cannot walk in the faith of God without faith in God.
Faith in God
This faith
++Is the foundation
++Declares we believe
Everyone has a belief system
Beliefs determine
++Our Actions
++Our Attitude
Opinions Matter
Jesus had no issue with His identity
Man’s opinion will shape
++What they believe
++How they respond
Belief is a matter of the Heart
How do we get faith?
Faith doesn’t come by
++What you heard
++What you read
++How you feel
++What you are hearing
Radical faith is the expression of the heart.
The Power of the Word
What is in your heart?
Faith is the
++Overflow of what we receive
++Declaration of the heart
According to thy word
Radical faith is expressed in prayer
The text includes two statements and a story
The first statement provides the purpose of the story
The text implies a human
++Resistance to pray.
++Desire to go it alone
++Unwillingness to not consider God
Prayer seems to
++Admit human weakness
++Say I am not in control
Prayer is a reminder
++We are not our own
++We exist for God’s purpose & glory
Radical faith can be expressed in every story.
Jesus was a master story teller
A good story invites the listener
++to visualize
++to connect emotionally
The principle characters
++The judge
++The widow
Jesus draw a cultural distinction
Jesus uses the extremes
++One of great authority and power
++One considered frail and weak
Radical faith knows that God is working
Even when I don’t see it, feel it or perceive it
The story is call the parable of the unjust judge
The judge ruled without fear
++No fear of God
++No regard for man
++Yet was troubled by he widow
The widow
++Had a need
++Recognize the authority of the judge
++Came to the Judge
++Kept coming
The widow received her request
++Not because the Judge cared
++Because she never stopped asking
God is better than the Judge
God cares about us
His people (own elect)
++Cry out to him day and night
++Are carried by him
The last statement
Will he find faith in the earth?
Will we pray
++when we feel left out?
++when we think God doesn’t care?
++When we feel we got this?
Prayer is
++Not just about provision
++Not just about favor
++Not just about getting what you want
++About a relationship of faith
