A Journey of Courageous Faith 02/15/26

On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Pastor Roger preached “A Journey of Courageous Faith,” emphasizing that true faith is rooted in belief rather than emotions or experiences. Referencing Romans 1:17, he reminded the congregation that “the righteous shall live by faith,” explaining that courageous faith often requires trusting God before seeing evidence. The core of the message centered on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:15–19, echoed in Colossians 1:9–14. Pastor Roger explained that Paul prayed for believers to receive wisdom and revelation so they might truly know God. From this revelation comes an understanding of our hope, our inheritance in Christ, and the immeasurable power available to us through Him. He encouraged the church to approach Scripture with humility, citing James 4:6 and Matthew 13:11, teaching that God reveals truth to receptive hearts. He described the Word as seeds planted in the heart—truth that the Holy Spirit brings to life over time—and as a plumb line that aligns believers with God’s will. Concluding with Matthew 16:13–19, he showed how Peter’s revelation of Jesus led to a revelation of his own identity.
