Continuing in the "Try Faith" series, Pastor David revisits the definition of faith from Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." He emphasizes that faith isn't merely a momentary action but an outlook on life that relies on Jesus showing up in our circumstances, making "good things out of hard things."

Pastor David examines Matthew 4:18-22, where Jesus calls His first disciples, suggesting that rather than strangers immediately dropping everything to follow Jesus, they likely had established relationships with Him already. This relationship foundation made it possible for them to leave behind comfort and security when Jesus called. He reminds us that following Jesus isn't always easy, referencing Matthew 20:22-23 where Jesus asks James and John, "Are you able to take the suffering that I am about to take?" Despite the cost, they still chose to follow Him. Pastor David challenges us to cultivate our relationship with Jesus through prayer, incorporating His teachings into our daily lives, participating in communion, and sharing our struggles with Him—preparing us for when He calls us to step out in faith.
