Sermons on Faith
John 2:23–25 – Belief That Doesn’t Save
Not all belief in Jesus is saving faith. In John 2:23–25, we see a crowd that is impressed by Jesus but not transformed by Him. They believe because of what they see, but their hearts remain unchanged. Jesus is not fooled by outward excitement or religious appearance, He knows what’s truly inside us. Real faith isn’t about being impressed, it’s about being changed. This sermon calls us to move beyond casual belief and come honestly to Christ, asking Him to…

Galatians 3:1-25 – Faith: The Means By Which We Live
