Part 3 of the Genesis series from June 1, 2008
(To the left are 2 fragments of pottery that a member acquired when he was in Ur, thought to be about 4,000 year old.)

Recap of June 1, 2008 sermon:
1. The only worthy and reliable object of a Christian’s faith is the Word of God, backed up by the character of God.
2. Our faith is often tested following a new obedience.
3. Our faith is tested as a means of spiritual growth. (James 1:2-4)
4. A test of our faith should lead us to a new appreciation for God and for His Word.
5. Failure in the test of faith: will lead us away from God; into sin; into humiliation.
