TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 10, 202

Faith Forward: A Story of Resonating Faith Today is January 10, 2024 Before we can resonate our faith outward we must first ask ourselves whether this faith resonates with us at all. Does God’s patience resonate at all? Does God’s mercy to not punish us for the sin that we commit, resonate at all? Does God’s love to send Jesus - he who has no sin; who is innocent - to pay the penalty of our sin in our place, resonate at all? Does the broken body and blood spilt of Jesus resonate at all? And what about heaven? Does being a child of God and heirs to the kingdom of heaven, resonate at all? And when I say heaven, I mean the place that will never perish, spoil, and fade; the place of the ‘no mores’ - no more death, no more mourning, no more crying, no more pain; the place where our bodies will be resurrected in glory, in power, and in spirit, does that resonate with you at all? If not that then what about the resonance of other people’s faith? Does the faith of Christians throughout history resonate at all? Does the faith of pastors or evangelists or missionaries or teachers, resonate at all? Does the faith of authors or actors, singers or soldiers? Testimonies from countless people from all backgrounds and professions and peoples and cultures, does that resonate at all? Does the faith of Christian love ones resonate at all? For, once this faith resonates with us - once we choose this faith as our faith - then we can talk about how we can resonate this faith outward. But, before that, we have to ask whether we truly have the faith that is the first verse of our vision verse: Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see God’s blessing as you think about your faith and whether it is your faith, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday. - Rev.
