How Faith is the Fuel for Following Jesus

A few years ago, in 2015, seven people gathered for the inaugural meeting of a new group. It was a new club.  

But this group was kind of usual. The new group was about quitting and was called “The Quitters Club.”

We’re looking at one of the more famous chapters in the Bible this weekend, Hebrews 11. It’s often called “the faith chapter” or the “hall of fame of faith.”

What you may not know is that Hebrews 11 follows on a appeal not to quit. The list of people of faith are a list of people who did not join “The Quitters Club” of faith.

“But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.” (Hebrews 10:39)

We’ll look at how faith fuels that. Hope to see you there.

1. “I have to do what I feel is right or genuine.”

“God created us, in his image, to be both rational and emotional. But when either becomes ultimate, we are not conforming to his image. This is why the ultimate authority of feelings, emotion, and “authenticity” for young people today is problematic. Emotions have a place, but they can be fickle liars. What “feels right” in our heart can actually be deception (Jer. 17:9). What seems “authentic” or “genuine” is not necessarily a reliable source of wisdom. The sooner we learn to critically evaluate our feelings, rather than follow them indiscriminately, the better.”
