Living Word Family Church Sermon Podcast

Keith and Heidi Hershey have always had a heart to assist national leaders. Because of this, MFMI continues to connect relationally with Pastors and leaders from the entire spectrum of the Christian community. They seek to mentor and train leaders through things such as: seminars, conferences, and our Life Leadership Institutes. Through this relational equipping, MFMI is able to bring training to lay leaders within churches, and assist in raising up a new generation for ministerial leadership in the Kingdom of God.

Description: God has given us so many great and precious promises throughout His Word, but our receiving of them is not automatic. Many times, there is something that is required of us. A journey through the beginning of the book of Joshua yields some principles that we can apply in our walk of faith as we look to possess His promises and live the gospel to those around us.

When we study the life of faith, we often focus on what we can receive by faith, often with regard to healing and provision. And indeed, these are among the precious promises God has made to His children. But when we look at the heroes of the Bible, those who appear in the "hall of faith" in Hebrews, for example, we see something else. They aren't afforded that status for what they received, but for what they DID. We find, as we continue to explore the life of faith, that faith is a necessary component of obedience.

We know by now (we'd better!) that we can place our faith in everything God says. If God said it, we can believe it, and if we can believe it, we can experience it. So when it comes to praying and believing and receiving, we MUST know what God has indeed said! To stand on the promises of God, we must actually know what He has promised. Today, we take a look at some of those promises.
