Faith: Understanding and Trusting in God's Truth - Word of the Week

In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church Podcast's 'Word of the Week' series, Pastor Josh delves into the concept of faith. The discussion focuses on the biblical definition given in Hebrews 11:1, which describes faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Pastor Josh explains that faith involves both understanding the truth of God and trusting in that truth, even when it is not visible. Through various scriptural references, he illustrates how faith is essential for salvation, daily Christian living, and overcoming life's difficulties by relying on God's promises. Listeners are encouraged to read Hebrews 11 to see examples of faith from biblical figures and to continually place their trust in Jesus Christ for both their eternal destination and daily struggles.
