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.

The Holy Spirit gives guidance and direction in our missionary work. Are we doing the work the Spirit has set aside for each one of us to do? He knows the time, place and person to reach out to. Are we listening and obeying when he nudges us? The Holy Spirit forms Christ in all of us and it's a lifetime journey. Seek to be filled. Listen to his voice. Step out boldly.

Giving is an act of trust. It is also not an obligation but an act of worship. Give from the heart, not as a duty, but as a way to express gratitude. Giving is about unity in the church, it is motivated by grace, not guilt, and a spiritual act of joyful worship. Jesus demonstrated sacrificial giving through his actions, leaving us an example to follow.

To embrace Jesus's mission, I must first clothe myself with Jesus and have his character formed in me. He must become greater, I must become less. Then I"ll be able to do as Jesus did. God's grace is with me. We need each other. Grace is a gift.
