In this week’s message, Pastor Paul Durbin walks us through what it really means to believe in Jesus—more than just head knowledge, but a transformational and embodied faith. Using the acronym FAITH, we explores how true faith is Factual, Actual, If you confess, Together with actions, and Habitual. Real faith moves from our head to our heart, flows out of our mouths, shows up in our hands, and carries us forward with our feet. Drawing on powerful imagery from the coffee roasting process, Paul reminded us that while roasting and grinding may not be pleasant, it’s all part of the transformation toward something beautiful. The question for each of us is: Has our belief moved beyond facts into full-bodied faith?
Hebrews 11:6
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Romans 10:9–10
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Context:
These passages remind us that faith isn’t just belief in God’s existence—it’s a complete life shift marked by heart-level trust and outward expression. In Paul’s sermon to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:21), he taught that faith begins with repentance and leads to transformed lives.
