Trust in God

Pastor Bill Bush · Sep 2, 2024

Pastor Bill calls the church to recognize that genuine love — the kind modeled by Jesus in John 3:16 and the Great Commission — always gives and always goes. Using his own journey from financial fear to faithful generosity, the Parable of the Sower, and the story of David and Goliath, he argues that a believer's willingness to give sacrificially is not merely a financial decision but a heart indicator of whether God's love has truly taken root. The sermon challenges every person to move from an 'I can't do it' posture to an 'I can't not do it' moment of courageous, Spirit-led commitment.

Drawing from Romans 4 and the life of Abraham, Pastor Bill challenges the congregation to examine whether their faith is rooted in God Himself or merely in the outcomes they expect from Him. Using Abraham as the model, he argues that genuine, lasting faith trusts in who God is rather than what He delivers, anchors itself in God's Word rather than wishful thinking, looks beyond circumstances rather than getting stuck in them, and chooses worship over worry — producing a faith that does not waver even when life completely stops working.

True trust is both a noun and a verb: a bold confidence that expresses itself in action. Pastor Bill traces this idea through Psalm 119 and the friendship of David and Jonathan, showing that God is the only perfectly trustworthy One because His Word and His ways are one. By anchoring our deepest relationships in a shared trust of God — and by understanding that broken trust requires sacrifice, boundaries, consistency, and faith to rebuild — we can become the kind of people whose ways genuinely match our words, just as Jesus, the Word made flesh, perfectly modeled for us.

Pastor Linn Winters draws from Luke 5 to press a crucial distinction: being a Christian (a label) versus being a follower of Jesus Christ (a direction and a commitment). Using the story of Simon Peter's miraculous catch of fish, he shows that following Jesus will always feel like fishing in the middle of the day — risky, sacrificial, and counterintuitive. True followers are those who, having seen Jesus' faithfulness, respond to His invitations not because they fully understand them, but because of who He is. The sermon calls every believer to move past selective obedience and endless wrestling with God, and to say: 'If anybody else were asking, I wouldn't do it — but because it's You, I'm in.'
