In this brief sermon, the speaker asserts that genuine, scripturally grounded faith is inherently active—it compels believers to move forward and abandon what is familiar. He illustrates this claim with three biblical figures: Abraham, who left his homeland; Moses, who crossed the Red Sea; and Ruth, who left Moab. Each example demonstrates a major act of faith that required leaving something behind. The speaker then contrasts this dynamic view of faith with fear, describing fear as a passive state that hides, waits, and re‑labels stagnation as virtue, thereby opposing the active nature of true faith.

Chapters

Abraham left his homeland. Moses crossed the Red Sea. Ruth left Moab. Every major act of faith is scripture-involved in some way. Faith is active. It moves. It seeks. It acts on what it knows. Look at Abraham. He left his homeland. Go over to Moses and you'll see that he crossed the Red Sea. Even look at the story of Ruth and you'll see that she left Moab. Every major act of faith in scripture involves someone leaving something behind. Fear is passive. It waits, it hides, it renames stuck as patient, as sacred, as spiritual.
