Part of being a FATIH CHAMPION is living for something that is bigger than yourself!  In order to live fully, you have to die to self!  CHAMPIONSHIP faith is all about never quitting, doing what you need to do and dieing to self to that you can live your destiny!

The first step of being a faith champion is that FAITH CHAMPIONS DON'T QUIT!  The world will hand you all kinds of issues and problems but when you make a decision to be a faith champion and that you will grow and do what it takes to build your faith, God will give you the strength to NEVER quit.

The elements of something are the simplest building blocks which are required to build it.  Lets look at 3 building blocks of faith: 1) A faithful God  2) God's unchanging Word and 3) The hearer of the Word.  The first 2 never change, the one that changes is the hearer!  Let's grow as hearers, absorbers and doers of the Word!

In order to exercise our faith, first we must believe that God will do something for us! The next step is beleiving that God will do something in us.  When God does something for us and in us, the next stage is believing that God will do something through us!  God first changes us and then uses us to change the world!

Faith is like a muscle.  If you use it, it grows and gets stronger.  If you don't use it, it becomes weaker and weaker over time.  Faith must also be current, yesteday's faith doesn't count today! The beginning of faith is in believing in God to do something for us.  We must believe God is our source and expect Him to meet our needs and be present in our lives on a daily basis.

We are made for community but community doesn't happen by accident! It must be intentional.  Our society and culture consumes so much of our time and energy that at the end of the day, we often just want to be left alone.  But many are living disconnected lives where parts of their emotions slowly die.  It is in community where we flourish best!

We are busier than ever and have more connections than ever but even with that, George Gallup did a study that showed Americans are some of the loneliest people on the planet!  We need real relationships that can only be built in community!

There is a cure for sin sickness and we have it!  God is not passive and neither should we be.  Jesus left the presence of the Father to bring the cure to planet earth.  We are then to bring the cure of Jesus Christ to every nook and cranny of planet earth! As individuals we can go places that the pastors in our church can't go. We can talk every day to people who may not go to a church to hear the message of the cross!

Our world is suffering from sin sickness and we have the cure! Even though we have the cure, statistics say that 90% of those who consider themselves born again Christitans, have never led someone into a personal relationship with Jesus!  This must change.  I invite you to become a greater soul winner in the days ahead!

It is God's will that none shall perish!  And God says that we are His ambassadors!  The key to effective words is effective prayers beforehand!  Many Christians have the right words but have not overcome spiritual obstacles and barriers through prayer.  Let's pray for souls and then go win them!

God has created each of us to be soul winners in our daily lives right where we work, live and play! But long before we go to people about God, we should go to God about people. Our prayers will begin to break the hardness of people's hearts long before we even speak to them about Jesus.

We continue in this second half of the message to look at some practical steps on how we can build our prayer lives.  We have to pray continually, persistently and also in faith.  Our prayers have to be bigger than our circumstances because God is bigger than our circumstances!  Not only that, but we get to know God and are empowered to do His work through a life of prayer!

So many people are frustrated with life but many of these people either don't pray or don't effectively pray to see God move powerfully on their behalf.  When we have a lifestyle of prayer, God moves in us and through us on a regular basis.  Join us to learn how to pray more effectively!

Are you tired of just taking what life hands you?  We have the power to change our reality and the world we live in through our prayers.  Prayer is a spiritual weapon created to restore God's power and plans in our daily lives!

We need to spend time praying in power, because prayer is a weapon to win victories in our daily lives.  The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.  It is in prayer that the power of God is released.

The kneeling warrior is a picture of humble strength.  Man's humility unleashes God's power!  A lifestyle of powerful prayer is the key to a lifestyle of God's power flowing in our every day lives and situations!

Prayer unleashes God's power!  Let's grow as prayer warriors and see God move powerfully in our lives on a regular and ongoing basis!

Join us for the completion of this message designed to help you lead a lifestyle of building your faith.  Your actions and spiritual disciplines will greatly affect the strength of your faith!

Faith is something that is built over time.  Each day, we can choose to build our faith and see God move more powerfully in our lives!

Many people stop with faith at salvation and are satisfied.  God has so much more for us if we will believe and receive it!  Lets talk about faith based on God's Word and experienced through the leading and power of the Holy Spirit!

True life changing faith is not a decision or choice, it is a lifestyle.  If you want God to powerfully move in your daily life, you must live the faith life!

Relationships set the tone of our lives.  If we celebrate, enjoy and grow in each season of relationships, this sets the foundation for the next season.  It all begins with our most important relationship with our Creator!

Cross cultural relationships are not in the forefront of many people's minds on a day to day basis.  For others, cross cultural relationship dynamics are very relevant.  Either way, God values all people and wants us to live in harmony as we serve Him.

The world is filled with so many people of different culutres and backgrounds.  Scripture shows us that heaven is filled with people from diverse backgrounds.  There is much to be gained both now and in eternity from having meaningful relationships with diverse people from different ethnicities and cultures.

God doesn't want you to accept the status quo of our society!  He wants to bring change and He is looking for someone to stand up and make that change happen through His power and presence.

God's will is that every single person comes to know Him.  It is up to us to be His hands, feet and mouth as we fight to win our generation to Jesus Christ!

We are on a mission to end spectator Christianity!  All Christians should be being used powerfully where they work, live and play each day!

Life always has challenges but winners are  not moved by tough times or situations.  God is teaching us how to overcome and it begins with an attitude that says, "No matter what I face, I will win!"  Lets grow our winning attitudes together!

God has called us to be more than conquerors and live in victory! Let's stop struggling and start living in greater levels of victory!

God wants to do a great work in each of our hearts. God not only heals us but lead us from a place of pain to a place of wholeness, from a place of brokeness to the abundant life He created us to live!

Pain is a universal condition that we all have to face! Overcoming struggles, pain and disappointment is part of life. Learning to trust God while still in your pain is the first step to overcoming the very thing that caused the pain!

God is a God of love!  He is love!  If you were able to get a slice of God, you would have a slice of love! Listen as we conclude this message and also dig into my book: Wounded Heart: Keys to Overcoming Life's Pain and Disappointments

Loving what God loves and hating what God hates.  This is living a life of passion and living to the fullest!
