Woodmen Valley Chapel

In this new series, Launch Your Faith, we will be exploring the implications of our belief that we have been examining during these last few months. We will continue to ask growth-producing questions about our faith. What does it mean to actually rely on God? What will it mean for us to actually "launch" our belief, to launch our faith? The next six weeks will be one of the most important seasons in Woodmen Valley's history. Launch Your Faith will provide a defining moment for every one of us. As we step into the future in our individual walks with Christ and in our journey and ministry as a community, it inevitably will be a step of faith. When following Jesus Christ, when growing in our amazement over His grace, when exploring, experiencing, and expressing His grace, faith is not optional. Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) As we will discover, launching our faith is intimately related with God's purpose in our lives. When I live out my belief, when I live by faith, I enter into a way of living that is motivated and governed by God's purpose, a way of living that is a response to all that He is. Therefore, when we live out our belief, we change the cadence of our lives from one of convenience to one of calling. Whether it is a matter of trusting Him for strength to take the next step and fulfill His purpose or for tools to enable us to fulfill His purpose, it always involves faith. Living by faith means living according to God's purpose and living according to God's purpose means living by faith!
