The good news of the gospel reveals how God’s grace meets us where our own efforts fall short.
A Gentile woman responds to Jesus' apparent rejection, owning up to being a dog and asking Jesus for just a crumb of His grace. Jesus did not reject nor insult her, but taught her who He was. When she realized it, He granted her request, and lifted her up from under the table to at the table as a child of God.
It is not easy to keep the faith because of sin in and around us, but faith is what gives us strength and power and enables us to bear good fruit unto God. Jesus cursed a fig tree that represented a hypocritical people that had no faith. Jesus then teaches his disciples to combine faith with prayer, that will enable us to trust in God and love one another.
Whatever you do, all of it matters, you can do EVERYTHING as an act of worship and glorify God IF you have the RIGHT attitude and have your eyes focused on Jesus.
I believe that everyone has great faith. The only question we have to ask is, in what? When you sit down in a chair, I'm willing to bet that you worry about falling. You don’t even think about it because there is no doubt in your mind. But when it comes to Jesus, do you have the same level of faith? In this passage, we find someone who has exactly that level of faith in Jesus. Is it one of the disciples, or a Jew, or maybe someone that has seen one of Jesus’ miracles? Nope. In fact, this believer comes from a pretty unlikely place. Take a look and find out.
Exodus 37:1-29
Key Verse: 37:9
The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.
In 2009, I lost my job because of the economy. It was one of the worst days of my life, but two years later God made it one of the best of my life.
Romans shows us the real problem in our lives, sin and death, and the only cure God has given through Jesus.
The cross finished the work, the tomb proved the victory, and the gospel still has power to change lives today.
On August 24, we will be starting a new sermon series called Bible 101, which will go over the basics of faith.
Since 2007, we have been serving Illinois Tech and the surrounding community with the word of God through Bible study and worship service. We are a church composed of alum and current students, who wish to see the love and grace of Jesus shared with others.
