In an uncertain world, your walk with God should be something stable and robust. 

This last year has shown us how quickly things can change with a global pandemic. 

Our walk with God needs to be robust and vibrant to see us through anything. 

Settling questions and theology you've been unsure of for some time is one way to add strength to your walk with God, reinforce faith and settle lingering doubts.

This world was never changed by men and women of weak conviction.

We need what we believe about God and Who He is to be strong, authentic and vibrant.

Sometimes there is a particular point of belief or theology that we haven't reconciled with God and it can hinder our believing and moving forward in Him.

In this message I encourage you to go after God and resolve those questions with Him.

He wants to speak to you, teach you, show you things.

One of the Holy Spirit's roles on earth is to teach us what we need to know.

In John 16v13 Jesus says: "when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak;  

and He will tell you things to come."

Lean in to Him, spend time with Him and let His voice and His written Word guide you into liberating truth and freedom.

God bless,

Gareth

Faith: God's Responsibility vs My Responsibility is a message I preached at my local church, Glory City Church Brisbane, on 18 Dec 2020.

Was an interesting topic to dive into and I’m sure there are many different opinions on the matter.

Faith is a huge topic and my short message would hardly do the topic justice; but it’s a question worth asking.

I think too often as believers we lean back on God’s “sovereignty” and just believe He will do it all.

When I read my Bible I see Jesus painting a different picture in regards to how He interacted with the disciples and what He expected of them.

I am a huge believer in God’s grace and unmerited favour; I’m certainly not proposing a Christianity of works under condemnation or an idea that God is a cruel taskmaster.

I do see Jesus raising up disciples, and therefore us, as mature sons and daughters who will co-labour with Him - and that includes being a people of strong faith and unwavering belief.

To that end, dive into the message and I hope it blesses you, maybe even clarifies a few things and helps you lead that more authentic and empowered Christian life.
