Lucy Stuttle - "The Heart of Faith" - 23 August 2026

Yeah, so for me, ever since I was little... bit of context, I've just always been captivated by Jesus' return.

I've always been captivated by the return of Jesus.

I remember being in kids' church.

I grew up in this little church in Tugin and I remember going to kids' church and someone coming and speaking to us and they were talking through the book of Revelation and And I remember being like, what? Like I've heard all the, you know, the typical kids' church Bible stories, but I've never heard this before.

They're talking about dragons and they're talking about like all this crazy stuff.

And I remember afterwards going to some adults and being like, what? Like, do you know about this book in the Bible that's so interesting and Jesus coming back and oh my gosh.

And I remember some people saying to me, like, oh, yeah, it's cool, but, you know, it's a little bit, like, maybe don't read it yet.

Maybe wait until you're a little bit older.

It might be a little bit scary.

And I just remember being like, what? Like, I think as a young, you know, when I was little and even still now, I'm quite black and white with the way that I am.

I'm quite just like, but it's there and it's important and it's the Word of God and it's the last book in the Bible.

Why would I not read it? And I remember going home and reading it from start to finish.

Probably had no idea what it meant until years later.

But I just, I was so intrigued by it.

I always was, yeah, I questioned why would I not read this book? And it's always just captivated me and intrigued me and inspired.

a sort of a life verse for me I feel like when you know you follow the Lord we read the word and we get sort of these life verses and one for me has been Matthew 7 I think it's 21 to 23 it's I read it when I was younger and it just absolutely it's all I always come back to this I always come back to this chunk of scripture it's it's captivated me since a young age it says I This is Jesus speaking.

He says, But I read that as a young girl and it just captivated me because ever since I was little I had such a desire to know Jesus.

And I think, you know, reading this I...

You know, I always, you know, I grew up in the church and I love ministry and I love church.

And I always knew that I wanted to be a person of faith.

I always knew, you know, I wanted to, all these topics we're talking about, you know, the lens of faith and language of faith and action of faith.

I wanted that.

I wanted to live that.

And when we read this, this is what Jesus is saying, you know.

You know, do we not prophesy in your name? Do we not cast out demons in your name and do mighty works in your name? You know, this is all faith in action.
