Pastor Mark continues our journey through the Hall of Faith by looking at the life of Enoch—a man who walked with God and never experienced death.
Enoch’s life serves as a powerful reminder of what it means to truly walk with God and to live by faith. We look at what it means to please God like Enoch did and how we can do that today.
As believers, we are called to reflect Christ in everything we do, but the church has often fallen short. Instead of being the light, we’ve been plagued by envy, strife, and confusion, preventing us from being the true reflection of Jesus.
But the only solution to the darkness in this world is Jesus Himself. Jesus didn’t come to establish a political kingdom; He came to obliterate sin, heal the broken, and reclaim the hearts and lives lost to darkness.
This message explores how we, like Enoch, can walk in a way that pleases God. When we live by faith, we become vessels of Christ’s victory, power, and freedom. Ephesians 1:18-21 reminds us of the immense power available to those who believe—resurrection power living inside of us, ready to be released into the world. There is nothing the enemy can do that Jesus hasn’t already conquered. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you, and when you walk in faith, you’re not just surviving; you’re reigning in life.
But it’s not enough to simply believe. Faith without works is dead. We can’t claim to live by faith if our lives don’t reflect it. Enoch’s walk with God wasn’t just about his words or beliefs—it was about his daily life. He knew God’s voice, walked in righteousness, and his life became a living testimony. When people look at your life, do they see a reflection of Christ? Or are there areas where you’re holding back, allowing fear and timidity to rule instead of faith?
Romans 5:17 challenges us to reign in life, but reigning isn’t about hiding away and enjoying personal blessings. God hasn’t saved you just for yourself—He saved you to impact the world around you. As children of God, we are called to be resources for the Kingdom, bringing the goodness of God into our families, workplaces, and communities. We are not called to be timid or silent, but bold and courageous in demonstrating God’s love and power.
Faith is not born out of emotions or feelings; it is a decision. A choice to believe God’s promises and to live in a way that reflects that belief. Mark 11:24 reminds us that God desires to fulfill our needs and desires, but His plans extend beyond our personal interests. Walking with God means aligning our hearts with His will and letting His righteousness transform our lives.
Enoch’s story is a powerful example of living by faith. His life pleased God, not because of the length of his days, but because he fulfilled his purpose. Will you allow God to transform you, to make you a vessel for His kingdom? Your walk with God can change not only your life but the world around you. The time is now to step out in faith, reflect the righteousness of Christ, and become an example of His power and love to a world in desperate need.
Life of Faith Church helps people experience God & enjoy life through relationship with Jesus Christ.
