Sola Fide (POHFW)

Preparing our Hearts to Worship

Sola Fide, by Faith Alone

 

In an effort to help you prepare for the December 4th, 2016, Sunday morning corporate worship gathering and to aid you in your own reflections on the phrase ‘by faith alone’, I wanted to pose a few questions and provide a few resources to prayerfully consider over the coming days. Our sermon is entitled, “Sola Fide”. The main Scripture for the day is Hebrews 11. The other passages are either referenced in the message or provide additional insight for reflection.

 

(Pick and choose from the many resources and options, which I have tried to make available for your devotional life.)

 

From the Scriptures

Read and prayerfully reflect upon some or all of these Scriptures. Ask God to shape your life and your church’s life to match the heart of God:

Read or listen to Hebrews 11, Romans 3, Ephesians 3:12-17, 2Thessalonians 1:11.

(You can read or listen to all of these passages in a variety of translations at Bible.is.)
