------------------------------------

Chris.

Faith and Preaching are words from the Bible that make a very normal partnership. Faith comes to us by hearing the Words of God and Christ. If those people who are serving the Lord in some kind of pastoral capacity wish to be caring for people of Faith, whether they are adults or children, these servants of the Lord need first to be preaching the Words of God and Christ, not their own ideas or visions. If the Church lacks Faith, it simply means the people are starved of Truth. Pastors should never tell their flock that the flock needs more faith; rather, they should examine their Preaching.

Chris.

God is very reliable and not fickle. Sometimes fickle people disappoint us with their broken promises and unreliable words and actions. If we suffer from these experiences, we find it difficult to trust people and have a burdensome sense of having to do everything ourselves. God wants to restore our trust because not all people are fickle. As we trust in our reliable God, He can also restore our trust in people.
