What is faith?
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Can we approach God with faith?
We approach God with the faith that he exists and rewards those who seek him.
Does faith give us what we want?
Not at once, for all those who have lived by faith have not yet received what was promised.
What did they receive – what can we receive?
God has provided something better so that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect.
We praise God for faith, perseverance, and the promises that will be fulfilled!

Joy is a mystery, because it can happen
anywhere, anytime, even under the most
unpromising circumstances, even in the midst
of suffering with tears in its eyes.
