Faith to Stand in the Gap—by Jacques Genis

July 25, 2022

Sermon summary:

Ezekiel 22:30 God is looking for someone who will stand in the gap even if it's uncomfortable, inconvenient.


Where does this faith come from?

The engine room of faith= proximity, closeness, connection and walking closely with Jesus, guided by his Spirit.


Genesis 6:9, 22 Noah walked faithfully with God; he did everything just as God commanded him.


Moses stood in the gap, and was the signpost for the Messiah.

Hebrews 11:25–27 He saw him who is invisible. When we truly see God, his magnificence, wonder.


Small steps of faith=with small consistent actions that seem insignificant, don't despise small beginnings.

Mark 1:40–45 The leper took the first step in faith towards healing.


The future is shaped by everyday decisions we make.


Faith that perseveres. James 1:12 Despite discomfort, perseverance is messy and should not be done alone.

1 Corinthians 15: 38 your labour in the Lord is not in vain.

We are called to excel in the grace of giving—it’s not just a duty, but a spiritual act of worship. Be consistent and faithful in our giving. Set it aside intentionally, and don’t delay in fulfilling what you’ve committed to the Lord. Don't let your imperfect view of God impact your giving.

Changing takes courage—but parenting God’s way means choosing His path, and knowing where our help comes from. Righteousness is about healing and strengthening relationships, not achieving perfection. Don’t conform to the world’s ways—seek God’s perspective on parenting. Model the behaviour you want to see, and let His Word draw your heart to your children, and theirs to yours. Be present in their spiritual journey—it's not optional, it's your responsibility.

We are like broken pieces of pottery. God went looking for us, he found the fragments of our lives discarded by life/shame/disappointment, and put us back with the blood of Jesus. Treat each other not as broken but perfected through Christ.
