Episode Details

How to trust God when nothing around you makes sense is the real question behind this message. In a world where most people say things feel like they're getting worse — housing stress, rising costs, constant bad news — Pastor Daniel Christie asks the church a hard question: is your faith solid enough to hold when the wind blows, or does it just sound solid?

Preaching from Hebrews 11, Pastor Christie unpacks what biblical faith actually is — belief plus trust — and exposes two counterfeits that quietly creep into the Christian life. The first treats God like a fact to agree with but never actually leans on; the second treats prayer and good behaviour like a transaction that guarantees an easy life. Using the story of tightrope walker Charles Blondin, the mustard-seed principle, and the honour roll of faith in Hebrews 11 — where Abel dies, Enoch lives, Noah stays, and Abraham goes, all "by faith" — this message shows that real faith was never about how much you have, but who it's placed in.

This is a practical call to move from choosing faith over fear in theory to actually acting on it — sitting in the chair, stepping onto the frozen lake, and trusting that God is good whether or not He fixes what you're facing.

Presented by Pastor Daniel Christie at Glenvale Seventh-day Adventist Church, Australia.
