Faith to Stand in the Gap—by Jacques Genis

July 25, 2022

Sermon summary:

Ezekiel 22:30 God is looking for someone who will stand in the gap even if it's uncomfortable, inconvenient.


Where does this faith come from?

The engine room of faith= proximity, closeness, connection and walking closely with Jesus, guided by his Spirit.


Genesis 6:9, 22 Noah walked faithfully with God; he did everything just as God commanded him.


Moses stood in the gap, and was the signpost for the Messiah.

Hebrews 11:25–27 He saw him who is invisible. When we truly see God, his magnificence, wonder.


Small steps of faith=with small consistent actions that seem insignificant, don't despise small beginnings.

Mark 1:40–45 The leper took the first step in faith towards healing.


The future is shaped by everyday decisions we make.


Faith that perseveres. James 1:12 Despite discomfort, perseverance is messy and should not be done alone.

1 Corinthians 15: 38 your labour in the Lord is not in vain.

Words have the power to build up or break down. Speak with grace, avoid double-speak, and use words that reflect love, especially with our children.

God made us in His image to reflect his character. He loves us freely and calls us to walk in his presence and live in the freedom of forgiveness.

Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
