We Walk by Faith // Part 1: What is Faith? (Pastor Mike Stevens)

Pastor Mike Stevens Season 104 Episode 1

In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens launches the new series We Walk by Faith, grounded in 2 Corinthians 5:7, reminding us that there are two ways to live: by sight or by faith. Faith means trusting in what we cannot yet see, especially the promise of eternal life and the assurance that to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord. Drawing from Hebrews 11, he explains that faith is confidence in the unseen and belief that God both exists and rewards those who seek Him. Faith always has an object, and for believers, that object is God Himself.

Pastor Mike Stevens also unpacks Ephesians 2:8–10, showing that salvation is a gift of grace received through faith. Like a present waiting to be opened, the gift of salvation must be received. But we are not only saved from something, we are saved for something. We are God’s workmanship, created with purpose and prepared for good works in advance. When we live by faith, we step into both salvation and calling, trusting God to make us new so we can live out His vision to Reach Up, Rise Up, and Reach Out.
