This is Zoe Church, LA.

We're not just fans, but rather followers of Jesus.

Tune in as Pastor Chad Veach teaches of God's love and how we can live a Zoe life, an abundant life.

I'm going to read you two little portions of scripture.

We're going to jump right into it, and then we'll pray for some people at the very close of service. Hebrews chapter 11 and 1st Samuel chapter number 14. We'll read

1st Samuel 14 in just a second. Let's read this together that Hebrews chapter 11. Maybe you're

familiar with this, maybe you're not. Here it says it says read it with me and without

faith come on say it loud and without faith it is impossible to please god and you can just stop right there

without faith it is impossible to please god but the converse of this is so true it's with faith

what could we possibly do with faith as a church? As an individual,

what could you and I? What could we do with faith? We have an opportunity with faith to honor God,

to bless God, to please God. Faith pleases God. I don't know if you're aware of this or not,

but when we operate in faith, when we don't just have a declaration of faith, but when we actually have activity of faith, when we live a life of faith, it blesses God. It does. God's into our faith. Now, he's a God that's filled with grace, and he loves you just because, and we don't have to flip tricks to try to make God love us more. God just loves us just because that's who he is. But what I've discovered is God is really into faith. Think about even in the

Bible, Jesus went around quantifying faith. He would say things like, oh, ye of little faith. Or I haven't

seen faith in all of Israel like this. And so God is into our faith and he's constantly looking

for people to operate in faith that will believe him at his word, that will believe that he is who he says he is and he can do what he says he can do.

He's looking for people like that.

Matter of fact, when Jesus shows back up on this scene to take his church, to take his bride to himself, the Bible says he will be looking to see if he can find faith in the earth so

God's into faith turn your neighbor to say God's into faith here's the reality is that there's the

Bible says there's some people that have a gift of faith I would say like Chad he's a guy with a gift

of faith he just believes I mean he's like oh yeah I mean we can just part the sea is this is going to happen right there's some people that have the gift of faith. He just believes, I mean, he's like, oh, yeah, we can just part the sea.

It's going to happen, right? There's some people that have the gift of faith. It's not just preachers and pastors. Some of you in here, you have the gift of faith. You can just believe God. But the Bible says that not everybody has the gift of faith, but everybody has a measure of faith. Everybody has a measure of faith. It's like this. You know there's some
