Bold Faith

Pastor Brad
|
October 5, 2025

Main Idea

The main idea revolved around the necessity of having bold faith that does not waver between competing beliefs. Pastor Brad highlighted that true worship requires us to choose whom we will serve. He used the biblical account of Elijah to demonstrate that bold faith can lead to powerful outcomes, showing that when we act in faith, God reveals His power. We learned that our prayers are more potent than our performances and that our faith can impact not just our lives but also serve as a foundation for others’ faith. The challenge was set before us to develop a faith that is ready for battle, ensuring we are spiritually prepared to help others.

Summary

In the sermon, Pastor Brad guided us through the concept that our faith can either act as a barrier or a pathway to victory. He emphasized that our greatest obstacles are often not external but stem from our reluctance to take steps of faith. By referencing the story of Elijah, he reminded us of the importance of unwavering faith, illustrating how we cannot serve two masters. Through prayer and worship, we were encouraged to prepare ourselves for God’s miraculous acts, as Elijah did on Mount Carmel. The message concluded with a call for us to build our own faith, which in turn would help strengthen the faith of those around us.

We are encouraged to not only have faith but to cultivate a faith that inspires and uplifts others.
