“Whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your FAITH IS TESTED, your endurance has a chance to grow. So LET IT GROW, for when it is fully developed you will be STRONG IN CHARACTER and ready for anything!” James 1:2-4 (NLT)

3 WAYS GOD TRANSFORMS YOUR FAITH TO BUILD YOUR CORE

1. GOD GIVES US A DIFFICULT NEW TASK OR DREAM WHAT Lord?)

"It was by faith that Noah built an ark to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about something that had never happened before."  Hebrews 11:7 (NLT)

FAITH IS FACING THE FUTURE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT?”

“Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain OF WHAT we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

2. GOD GIVES US A MAJOR CHANGE (WHERE Lord?)

“It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went WITHOUT KNOWING WHERE HE WAS GOING.”  Hebrews 11:8-10 (NLT)

FAITH IS FOLLOWING GOD’S LEADING WITHOUT KNOWING “WHERE?”

3. GOD GIVES US A DELAYED PROMISE (WHEN Lord?)

“Even after Abraham reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, LIVING IN A TENT AND SO DID ISAAC AND JACOB, to whom God gave the SAME PROMISE. Abraham did this because he was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God.” Hebrews 11:8-10 (NLT)

FAITH IS WAITING FOR GOD’S TIMING WITHOUT KNOWING “WHEN?”
