Believe to Receive


Believing is the starting point of the Christian life. In this message, Believe to Receive, we are reminded that everything in our walk with Christ begins by believing in a God who loves us and gave His Son for us. Drawing from Romans 10 and Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in John 3, this sermon unpacks what it truly means to believe—not just intellectually, but with trust, commitment, and surrender.


Through Scripture and personal testimony, we see how belief leads to salvation, transformation, and a living relationship with Jesus. This message explores the difference between belief and unbelief, why faith is often risky and countercultural, and how believing activates God’s power in our lives. Belief moves us from simply hearing the Word to receiving it, obeying it, and living it out daily.


Ultimately, Believe to Receive calls us to examine what we place our trust in and invites us to step fully into the life God offers—where believing leads to receiving, knowing, growing, and becoming who He created us to be.
