Faith for the More

This sermon introduces a series on developing faith to experience more of God's presence and power in 2026. The pastor emphasizes that spiritual growth follows God's established patterns, not human ambition or performance. The core message reveals that faith works through love, not through religious duty or self-effort. True spiritual advancement comes from deepening our relationship with Jesus rather than climbing ladders of achievement. The sermon challenges believers to examine whether they're living from first love for Christ or have fallen into performance-based Christianity. Growth happens one step at a time, like climbing a ladder rung by rung, through partnership with God, adherence to His principles, and embracing both events and processes. The ultimate revelation is that wherever God takes us in faith, we ultimately find more of Him—because everything is personified in Jesus.
