MOTION X: Living In MOTIONSample

Have you ever heard someone tell you or a friend, “You just need to have more faith”? People often say this without ever giving any instruction on how to actually build our faith. Often times, we desire to grow. We want our faith to be strong, however we are not equipped with the resources we need.

The good news is that faith is not something we have to muster up on our own. God wants to come alongside of us to give us the faith we need. No matter what is in front, surrounding, or behind us; God is willing to meet us where we are and give us everything we need.

In order to strengthen our faith, we must recognize that it is built on a foundation of trust. God desires to be in relationship with us. He sees every detail of our lives and desires to be involved in all of it. So in order to trust God, we must first have relationship with Him. We would never trust a stranger. However, we trust our friends because we have seen them consistently be faithful over time. It is the same way with our relationship with God. The more time we spend with Him, the easier it is to trust Him. As we develop our trust in God, our faith is actively strengthened as well. 

Living beyond ourselves means having faith beyond what we currently see. This kind of faith can only come from God, so we must be faithful in spending time with Him through prayer, worship and His Word.
