Theres a difference between Saving Faith
Growing Faith But they are both about Trust

Hebrews 111, 6 What is faith? Its the
confident assurance that what we hope for is
going to happen. Its the evidence of things we
cant yet see So you see it is impossible to
please God without faith. Anyone who want to
come to Him must believe that theres a God
that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

• I know there are many of you here today that are
  suffering in ways I could never even imagine.
  Dont get caught up in Satans lie that God is
  out to hurt you or punish you for something. In
  time with Gods help, you may be able to see
  His hand on your life story as I have. Believe
  this God loves you. He loves you so much that
  sometimes He allows you to share in sufferings.
  No matter how much it hurts Hell use it to bless
  you others. Just trust Him. I ask you today to
  turn to the Carpenter who lived 2000 years ago
  dared to claim Dont let your hearts be
  troubled. Trust God. Trust Me. Sandra

Living Outside My Comfort Zones

• 3. Put My Faith Into ACTION (v.5-6)

• True faith is never passive

So you see it isnt enough just to have faith.
Faith that doesnt show itself by good deeds is
no faith at all. Its dead useless. Some may
argue some people have faith others have good
deeds. I say I cant see your faith if you dont
have good deeds. But Ill show you my faith
through my good deeds. James 217-18 (NLT)
