When You Have a Borrowed Faith

You can spend your whole life around God and never actually know Him.

In Acts 19, seven sons of a Jewish high priest try to cast out a demon “by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims,” and it goes very badly for them. They had the right words, the right family and the right religious background, but their faith was borrowed. In this message, we look at how a secondhand faith becomes firsthand: you can experience God’s presence, and you can hear God’s voice through His Word, His Spirit and His people.
