The Value of Faith
From the Archives

What kind of faith are we really living with, and is it moving us forward or holding us back?

In this archived message, Pastor Brent teaches on the central role faith plays in the life of a believer. Drawing from Hebrews 11, the Gospels, and the life of Abraham, this sermon explores different levels of faith and challenges us to move beyond fear, familiarity, and passive belief into a faith that actively pursues God.

This message invites us to:

• Examine the condition and strength of our faith
• Recognize how fear and familiarity can weaken faith over time
• Understand that faith is meant to be lived, not just believed
• Learn how hearing, obedience, and perseverance grow faith
• Pursue a lifestyle that pleases God and produces spiritual fruit

This sermon is a powerful reminder that faith is not static. It grows when we seek God, respond to His Word, and choose to move forward even when circumstances are challenging.

You Get What He Paid For

What if healing isn’t something we’re waiting on, but something Jesus has already provided?

In this message, we’re reminded that the Gospel is more than forgiveness of sin. It is the full work of Jesus on the cross. Drawing from Isaiah 53, the Gospels, and the Book of Acts, this sermon teaches that Jesus didn’t only pay for our salvation. He also paid for our healing.

This message invites us to:

• Understand healing as part of the complete Gospel
• See clearly what Jesus accomplished through His suffering
• Build faith by anchoring ourselves in God’s Word, not our symptoms
• Remove obstacles that hinder faith and expectancy
• Receive healing as a gift that Jesus deeply desires us to walk in

Through Scripture, testimony, and practical teaching, this sermon calls the church to believe boldly, contend for healing, and live in the fullness of what Christ has already purchased.

Shake Off The Dust

What happens when God calls His people to wake up and remember who they are?

In this message, guest speaker Pastor Gary Mason calls the church to rise out of spiritual fatigue and step again into the strength that comes from the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Isaiah 52 and other key passages, we are reminded that God has already clothed His people with beauty, power, and purpose. Sometimes all that’s needed is to shake off the dust of the journey and realign with what He has already given.

This sermon invites us to:

• Wake up from spiritual complacency and rediscover God’s strength
• Put on the garments God provides, not the ones life places on us
• Recognize the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in everyday life
• Re-dig spiritual wells and draw again from the joy of salvation
• Embrace our place in the Body of Christ and the life God is flowing through it

This message carries both encouragement and prophetic direction, calling Faith Alive to renewed strength, restored joy, and a fresh flow of God’s Spirit for the city and beyond.

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger

What if spiritual hunger is not something to avoid, but something God wants to awaken in us?

In this message, Pastor Adam teaches on fasting as a holy hunger that makes room for more of God. Rooted in Jesus’ words, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,” this sermon calls us to break patterns of distraction, confront spiritual apathy, and intentionally pursue God through prayer and fasting.

This message invites us to:

• Rediscover spiritual hunger in a culture of constant distraction
• Understand fasting as filling our lives with God, not just going without food
• Learn biblical principles for fasting that lead to spiritual breakthrough
• Approach prayer and fasting with faith, intention, and expectation

As the church prepares for a week of prayer and fasting, this sermon encourages us to believe God for real change in our lives, our families, and our church, trusting that those who hunger for Him will be filled.

Christ Our Cornerstone

What are we really building our lives on, and will it stand when the storms come?

In this message, Pastor Adam points us back to Jesus as the only true foundation that will not be shaken. Drawing from Matthew 7, 1 Corinthians 3, and 1 Peter 2, we are reminded that hearing God’s Word is not enough. We are called to live it, build on it, and align our lives to Christ as the cornerstone.

This sermon invites us to:

• Examine whether we are building on rock or on sand
• Move from belief alone into obedience and daily pursuit of Jesus
• Understand our identity as living stones in what God is building
• Commit to a faith that lasts through testing, hardship, and change

As we continue into the year, this message calls us to realignment, surrender, and a deeper commitment to Christ and His Church.

Key Scripture: Matthew 7:24–27; 1 Corinthians 3:11–17; 1 Peter 2:4–9

All to the Glory of God

What are you building your life on—and will it last?

In this message, Pastor Adam challenges us to take an honest look at our spiritual foundations. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10 and 3, we’re reminded that following Jesus is more than asking “Is this allowed?”—it’s asking “Is this helpful? Does this build something eternal?”

This sermon calls us to:

• Examine the foundation we’re standing on before the shaking comes
• Move beyond a permission-based faith into a purpose-driven life
• Choose what builds God’s Kingdom, not just what benefits us
• Live with eternity in mind—serving God, serving others, and glorifying Christ in all things

As we step into a new year, this message invites us to strengthen our foundation, align our priorities, and build our lives for the glory of God.

In his sermon, Rev. Mike Wilson shares how we’re truly blessed—not just for ourselves, but so we can be a blessing to others. We hear about powerful moments from our recent trip to Guatemala: bringing hope, practical help, and the presence of God to those in need.

Rev. Mike encourages us to realize the unique gifts each of us carries, urging us to step up, serve, and use what God has given us—whether it’s volunteering, giving, or praying—to build both our church family and the wider community. He reminds us that together, we’re called to dream big, give generously, and make a lasting impact, right where we are and around the world.
