Sermon Overview
Reidhead explores the nature of faith as the "substance of things hoped for." He contrasts "walking by sight"—which relies on physical senses—with "walking by faith," which relies on the character and promises of God. He argues that faith is not blind; it is a spiritual vision that recognizes God’s hand and purposes in the midst of visible trials and circumstances.
Key Principles
Spiritual Eyes: Train your soul to "see" and acknowledge spiritual realities that the physical eyes miss.
Evidence of Unseen:Rely on God's promises as "tangible evidence" even when circumstances look contrary.
Pleasing God: Motivate your faith by the knowledge that God is profoundly honored when you trust His reality.
Senses Limitation:Recognize that your physical senses are often "liars" regarding the spiritual state of things.
Seeing the Invisible:Like Moses, endure trials by "seeing Him who is invisible" through the eye of faith.
Enduring Trials: Use your "spiritual sight" to interpret the trials of life as God’s training ground for glory.
Link to Maturity:Measure your spiritual maturity by how much you can trust God when the "visible" fails.
Resting in Sovereignty: Find peace by resting in God's total authority over everything you see and feel.
