Summary
Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Corinthians 5:7, and today's worship is For Your Splendor by Christy Nockels.
--
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!

| 0:46.3 | God's Word says, for we walk by faith, not by sight. |
| 1:01.0 | Living by faith is the key that unlocks the door to the fullness of God's promises. |
| 1:06.0 | There is no doubt that God will always be faithful to his promises. Scripture is clear in 2 Timothy 2.13 that if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. |
| 1:14.6 | Faithfulness is within God's nature. But without faith, we will not experience the fullness of what's available to us and God's promises. |
| 1:23.6 | God does not force emotion on us. He does not force us to receive the joy and peace that comes |
| 1:30.8 | through trusting Him. He does not force us into the fullness of relationship available to us |
| 1:36.6 | and faith. And he does not force his purposes on us. Faith is the vehicle by which we experience all that God longs to give us. Specifically, |
| 1:47.0 | faith is the avenue on which we experience the fullness of God's promises for intimacy with Him, |
| 1:54.0 | purpose in this life, and freedom from sin. Hebrews 10, 19 through 22 says, |
| 2:02.6 | Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, |
| 2:07.6 | by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain that is through his flesh, |
| 2:13.6 | and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart and full |
| 2:20.2 | assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with |
| 2:26.2 | pure water. By faith, we walk into God's presence. In faith, we believe God desires to be with us. |
| 2:35.0 | Experiencing the fullness of restored relationship with our Heavenly Father |
| 2:39.0 | requires a heart full of faith and trust, that God longs to tangibly be with us, his children. |
