CrossPointe Core Values: Faithfulness
In this sermon on faithfulness, Pastor Jonathan explores the third core value of CrossPointe Church. He emphasizes that faith is an action, not merely a feeling and that the enemy often attacks this value to weaken Christians' identity and effectiveness. Using passages from Hebrews 11 and James 2, Pastor Jonathan contrasts fake faith with real, dynamic faith.
The sermon outlines four characteristics of fake faith: words without works, sight without sympathy, profession without proof, and commotion without conversion. Pastor Jonathan urges believers to move beyond religious games and cheap talk, instead demonstrating their faith through tangible actions and good deeds. He provides examples of how Christians throughout history have lived out their faith, from caring for the sick to abolishing slave trade.
Pastor Jonathan concludes by calling the congregation to embrace an authentic, active faith that can transform lives and stand firm against the enemy's attacks. He encourages them to trust in God's faithfulness and to live out their faith in practical ways, believing that no difficulty is insurmountable for the Creator of the universe.
