Should I Stay, or Should I Go - Jeremiah Niengor | First Assembly Church

From FA Church · 37:28

Show by First Assembly

This past Sunday, Jeremiah Niengor preached a message entitled "Should I Stay, or Should I Go." Drawing from Hebrews 11:8-10, Pastor Jeremiah explored Abraham’s journey of faith and his willingness to obey God, even when he didn’t know where he was going. He reminded us that faith is not based on how promising our circumstances look, but on trusting the God who has spoken. Pastor Jeremiah highlighted three aspects of Abraham’s faith: he went, he stayed, and he waited. He explained that faith is not just having the courage to begin, but remaining faithful through every season and continuing to trust God over time. This message encourages us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, embracing the faith to obey, the faith to remain, and the faith to hope in what God has promised.✍️ Notes Title: Should I Stay, or Should I Go – Jeremiah Niengor8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised – – land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Hebrews 11:8-101. He WentBy faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:8What we struggle with is following God when we don't know where He's leading.“Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.” Genesis 11:30The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 “I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Genesis 12:1-3“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:2Faith is not first a response to how promising our circumstances look. Faith is a response to the God who has spoken. In the Kingdom – Our ears are our eyes.But we don't always talk about what obedience might require us to surrender. It's about surrendering our lives to His lordship. His confidence was in the God who had called him.2. He stayed The first step is not the whole life of faith. Faith isn’t just the courage to begin. It’s the faithfulness to continue. Praying again. Serving again. Loving again.Trusting again. 3. He waitedFaith isn't just trusting God in a moment. Faith is learning to trust God over time. What you are looking toward will shape how you live while you wait. Faith isn't simply trusting God to give us the future we've imagined. It's trusting Him with the future He's promised.“…And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. Hebrews 12:1-2Where does he tell us to look? Look to Jesus…The faith to obey. The faith to remain. The faith to hope.📅 UPCOMING EVENTS Check our Calendar here: https://fachurch.churchcenter.com/reg...🔗 STAY CONNECTED Take your NEXT STEP: fill out a short form that’ll help us get the conversation started: https://www.fa.church/nextsteps First Assembly | @fa.church @fa.seton https://www.fa.church / fa.church
