Faith

Episode 263

Angus Buchan

Angus speaks to us today about Faith. St Augustine once said: "Faith is to believe what you cannot see, but the reward of that faith is to see what you cannot believe."

Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Born again

John 3:3–4, John 3:7

John 3:3-4, 7. Unless a person is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. This means that our lives need to change based on a decision we make to believe in and follow Jesus. It is a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction from where we were going. There needs to be change.

The Time Keeper

Isaiah 38:5, Isaiah 38:8

The Lord is the ultimate Time Keeper. Isaiah 38:5, 8. God gave king Hezekiah an extra fifteen years of life. God also caused time to go backwards by ten degrees on the sun dial. He is the God of the impossible, the Miracle worker. We cannot limit God.

Tell your story

2 Peter 1:16–18, Acts 7

How many people have you told lately about your story? The story about your conversion, of your experience of Jesus Christ. This is a simple story about how Christ saved us. 2 Peter 1:16-18. There is great power in our personal testimony, because people can either agree with you or disagree with us but they can't argue with you because they weren't there. Acts 7.
