This past Sunday, our Lead Pastor, Ben Johnson, preached a message entitled "Faith that Builds." Pastor Ben explored the faith of Noah, who trusted God’s warning and built an ark to save his family, as described in Hebrews 11:7. He reminded us that faith begins with hearing God through His Word, as Romans 10:17 teaches. Pastor Ben also highlighted how faith builds for others, showing us that our obedience can have an impact beyond ourselves. Finally, he reminded us that the door is still open, pointing to Jesus’ words in John 10:9: “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.” This message encourages us to hear God, build in faith for the sake of others, and respond to the open invitation of Jesus.
✍️ Notes Title: Faith that Builds – Ben Johnson
It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith. Hebrews 11:7 (NLT)
1. Faith hears God So, then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 (NKJV)
2. Faith builds for Others
3. The Door is Still Open “God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water…” 1 Peter 3:20 (NIV)
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. John 10:9 (NKJ)
