Weekly Study Guide

This week in "Walking With the Savior" Faith, ignited in the hearts of believers, is often described as a perspective that highlights God's ability to guide His people through challenges, despite natural limitations. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith itself and illustrates its significance. Throughout various biblical accounts, individuals are frequently portrayed as exhibiting a demeanor shaped by their faith. Just as fear has identifiable characteristics, faith also has its unique qualities. In contrast, doubt often manifests as expressions that lead to feelings of hopelessness and stagnation. The face of faith is illustrated in various instances. Abraham is a key example of living by faith, while Joseph displayed his belief that God would ultimately free His people from bondage by planning for his own burial (Genesis 50:25). Likewise in this passage before us, an official demonstrated his spiritual belief and confidence when Jesus told him, “Go your way; your son is healed, he turned and left Jesus to return to his family with the face of faith holding him.”
