Notes
We are not given amazing faith all at once – we build and develop faith over time. To grow faith we need to “go”, and we grow when we are obedient. Christians are called to testify about what we do know, not what we don’t know. Being a witness for Jesus will enhance your understanding of Jesus, help you build amazing faith, make your worship come alive and change your life.
