A Faith that Stands

In this third installment of the series “Big Faith for Little Hearts,” Pastor Greg explores what it means to have a faith that endures to the end. Drawing from the parable of the sower, the life of Joshua, and the story of Daniel, the sermon examines why so many believers start strong in their faith but eventually fade away. The central argument is that lasting faith is not built on religious rule-keeping or ritual, but on a genuine, deeply rooted love relationship with God. Just as Joshua lingered in God’s presence and Daniel refused to defile himself even at personal cost, believers today are called to prioritize intimacy with God above the comforts and distractions of the world. The sermon concludes with the assurance from Romans 8 that nothing can separate us from the love of God, and that it is this love — both God’s love for us and our love for him — that gives believers the strength to stand firm through tribulation, temptation, and the slow fade of worldly distraction.

A Faith That Knows the Truth

Pastor Steve calls the church to recognize that every person is being discipled by something or someone, and that the critical question is who or what is doing the discipling. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6 and the broader witness of Scripture, he establishes that truth is not subjective or self-created but is objective, rooted in the unchanging character of God, and ultimately embodied in the person of Jesus Christ. The sermon challenges both parents and the broader congregation to take seriously their responsibility to pass a gospel-centered legacy to the next generation by knowing, living, and speaking God’s word in every dimension of daily life. Pastor Steve emphasizes that the Word of God teaches, reproves, corrects, and trains in righteousness, and that genuine discipleship flows not from mastering a creed but from surrendering to Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life.

A Faith Worth Passing On

Pastor Aaron opens a new series called “Big Faith for Little Hearts,” challenging the entire congregation, not just parents, to take seriously their responsibility to pass a genuine, living faith to the next generation. Drawing from Psalm 78, Deuteronomy 6, Luke 24, and Matthew 28, he warns against the danger of children carrying a “borrowed faith” that is not truly their own. He emphasizes that discipling the next generation begins with adults who model an authentic, daily faith centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ. The sermon calls every believer, regardless of age or family status, to invest intentionally in younger generations by telling them what God has done, keeping Jesus at the center of all teaching, and obeying the Great Commission with confidence in Christ’s promised presence.
