In this episode, we continue the series "Trusting in God to manifest His Kingdom", emphasizing the critical connection between our faith and our ability to manifest the kingdom of God. The sermon highlights the importance of knowing our identity as believers, rooted in our union with Christ, and how this knowledge empowers us to exercise our faith effectively.

We explore the significance of the Greek word "pistu," which translates to "believe," and its various forms, to deepen our understanding of what it means to truly believe in God and His promises. Through scriptural references, including John 14 and Hebrews, we illustrate that true belief is an active exercise of faith that results in the manifestation of God's word in our lives.

The episode further discusses the examples of the Israelites in the wilderness, drawing parallels to our own lives and the importance of recognizing and claiming the promises of God. As we reflect on the stories of Caleb and Joshua, we are reminded that our confidence does not stem from our abilities but from the God who empowers us to overcome challenges.

Join us as we uncover the depths of our spiritual identity and the transformative power of believing in Christ, encouraging listeners to embrace their divine potential and manifest the glory of God in their everyday lives.

In this episode, we go deeper in the topic, Our Union in Christ, continuing our discussion on the spiritual nature of a believer's identity. We explore the profound truth that the kingdom of God is spiritual, emphasizing that our identity is rooted in our relationship with Christ.

We further investigate the role of faith as a core identity of the believer, discussing how faith is essential not only for salvation but also for the manifestation of God's kingdom in our lives. Through various scriptures, including 1 Corinthians and Hebrews, we outline the importance of understanding faith as both a gift and a responsibility, encouraging listeners to embrace their identity as faithful children of God.
