So if you are intentionally ignoring a point of truth that God has made real to you,

you shouldn't expect any further messaging. You say he's the

creator of all things and we can't just willfully thumb our nose at him and expect

him to give us another option.

When he puts an invitation before us, the expectation is we will respond in obedience and

enthusiasm.

Now I haven't always done that. in obedience and enthusiasm.

Now I haven't always done that, but that's the goal.

If these messages help build you up or encourage you to be a more fully devoted Christ

follower, leave us a five-star rating and review.

Hopefully, that will help others find out about them as well.

Now, it's on to Pastor Allen.

Be blessed.

We've been working through a series around this theme of determined faith.

I don't think we have cultivated enough determination in our faith.

You know, we've kind of had church faith and polite faith and kind faith and

gentle faith, but when I read the stories of my heroes in the Bible that takes

determination if you're going to fulfill God's call on your life.

It won't be easy.

God does not call us to easy things.
