The Patient Acquisition Of Virtue | Week Two | Don't Call The Boat Just Yet

What does it look like to live a life of faith? Faith requires that we step out of our comfort zone and stretch beyond what we know. God often opens unexpected doors and it's up to God's people to walk through.

Many times in life God is opening doors but we don’t have the eyes to see it. How do we learn to recognize opportunity?

Life’s trials and circumstances can deplete us. Do you feel weak and feeling as if your spiritual tank is running low? Well, here’s the good news: God wants to give you FRESH OIL!

The name of God given in scripture is full of mystery and wonder. The more we understand and trust his name, the more we experience his power.

Every day, the central part of you is turning in one direction or another. Who are you quietly becoming? Your relationships will reveal the answer.

Week 2 of the series The Patient Acquisition of Virtue continues through the Sermon on the Mount.  What does it mean to live whole-heartedly?  How do both grow and mature this kind of heart?
