What is Christian Faith? What does it mean to live faithfully? What are the key elements of a faithful life? The last few chapters of the book of Hebrews offer a summary of the essentials of Christian faith.This Sunday, August 24, the sermon is entitled “Faith is Mountains and Valleys” and will draw from the Scripture text Hebrews 12:18-29. Through the ups and downs of our lives, Christian faith offers something upon which we can rely. In the midst of the uncertainties of this world, God’s faithful presence is steadfast.
