Evolution of Faith Series

I'm starting a new 3-part message series this Sunday, called "Evolution of Faith". We will be looking at the origins of our faith, why we believe what we believe, and faith's overall evolution from creation to the cross.

In Christian circles, when we hear the word "evolution", it automatically sparks negative thoughts. That is because most people associate the word with it's secondary definition..."the historical development of a biological group."

But Webster's primary definition for evolution is simply ..."a process of change in a certain direction."

Faith has changed since the beginning of creation. God sent His Son to earth and everything changed.

Our personal faith should also be a continual process of change. Not in our fundamentals, but in width and depth. We should strive to broaden our faith through learning and serving. We should strive to deepen our faith through prayer, fasting, and knowing God's Word.

See you on Sunday at 9:00am or 10:45am for part 1 of "Evolution of Faith."
