3/25/26 WE An Example In Faith!

In this sermon from Spring Meadow Baptist Church, the pastor reflects on 1 Timothy 4:12, urging believers to be examples in faith. Drawing from a deep study of the New Testament—particularly the Gospels—the message emphasizes that faith is not merely verbal assent but must be lived out in action. The pastor uses the story of a Boeing engineer who refused to fly on the 707 despite being involved in its development as a metaphor for empty faith: talk without practice. He then traces Jesus’ consistent emphasis on faith throughout the Gospels, highlighting how Jesus rebuked lack of faith in both religious leaders and His own disciples, while also recognizing extraordinary faith in outsiders like the Roman centurion and the Canaanite woman. The sermon underscores that God rewards practiced faith, as seen in healings and miracles, and reveals the transformative power of faith—small as a mustard seed, yet capable of moving mountains. The call to the congregation is clear: to examine one’s own life and strive to be a living example of bold, active faith that honors God.
