Summary
Our Scripture for today comes from James 2:26, and today's worship is Reckless Love by Jeremy Riddle & Steffany Gretzinger.
--
Faith doesn’t happen on its own. It’s a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It’s a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself.
It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it’s supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you.
We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life.
With Faith you’ll:
- Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully
- Study powerful moments of God’s faithfulness in scripture
- Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith
- Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!

| 1:03.0 | is dead. |
| 1:07.0 | God has designed the Christian life to be one filled with adventurous and redemptive action, |
| 1:13.6 | action that's fueled by the love and work of Jesus in our own lives. |
| 1:19.6 | So great is God's love for us that He would leave the glory of heaven, take on flesh, |
| 1:26.6 | and destroy the power of sin and death with his loving sacrifice. |
| 1:33.3 | God's love was so great that He gave himself up for us who were undeserving and could never repay him. |

| 1:58.0 | God has appointed us as the sole carriers of his message of |
| 2:03.6 | redemption for all. He longs to use you to share and exemplify the hope that comes solely |

| 2:18.3 | The power of God's love comes through action. |
