Obstacles to More Faith | Overcoming Fear & Walking by Faith | Pastor Mike

Описание: In this powerful message, Pastor Mike teaches on “Obstacles to More Faith” and reveals how fear, doubt, and reliance on sight can limit our spiritual growth.

Faith is not a feeling—it is obedience. Drawing from Scripture, real-life illustrations, and biblical examples, this sermon explores how fear of man, fear of rejection, fear of failure, and trusting what we see instead of God’s promises can become major barriers to faith.

Through stories like the peasant and the boulder, Peter’s denial of Christ, King Saul’s downfall, Elijah praying for rain, and Israel at the Red Sea, we learn that strong faith reclassifies obstacles as instruments, not barriers.

📖 Key Scriptures include:

Hebrews 13:6

Hebrews 11:1

Proverbs 29:25

Mark 11:22

2 Corinthians 5:7

This message will encourage you to:
✔ Walk by faith, not by sight
✔ Overcome fear of man
✔ Trust God beyond visible circumstances
✔ Step forward even when uncomfortable

If you’re believing God for more faith, boldness, and spiritual growth—this message is for you.

🙏 Be blessed and encouraged as you press forward in faith.
