Pastor Lach Jones - "The Language of Faith" - 9 August 2026 · Seacoast Church · Radar

The Life of Faith1:08 – 3:15

1:08

So if you've got your Bibles today, I'm going to continue preaching on this theme that Rick started last week around the life of faith.

1:16

The life of faith.

1:18

And we're pressing into this theme and we're believing for fresh vision from the Lord and For every single one of us, not just for us as pastors of a church, but for every single one of us that we would have fresh vision of who the Lord is and who the Lord is calling us to be in this hour and in this generation.

1:38

There's a couple of reasons why I felt as a pastor and a leader even to press into this theme.

1:43

And a couple of those reasons is there is a real thing called the mid-year slump.

1:49

I don't know if anyone feels it.

1:50

I don't know if it's because the days get shorter and the light gets shorter during the winter months, but I'm a naturalist.

1:58

And I love the sun and I love being out in nature.

2:01

And so as I just watch myself not being out there as much and myself getting whiter and pastier because I've got a wetsuit on in the surf, and I'm just slowly feeling like, man, I feel tired and I feel weary.

2:14

I don't know if it's because at the start of the year, we've got all these goals and these dreams that we're going to pursue.

2:18

And then by the mid-year, we're like, I'm too exhausted to do any of them.

2:21

Is there anyone who's with me or am I just preaching to myself this morning? So I felt like the Lord put this theme on my heart around the life of faith, that the Lord would inject fresh energy, fresh life, fresh vision into us as the people of God.

2:38

We need a reminder.

2:39

I truly believe this.

2:40

We need a reminder that the Lord has a plan for our lives.

2:45

The Lord has a plan.

2:46

I feel there's someone here this morning and you have felt like the Lord has forgotten you.

2:53

that the Lord doesn't see you, that he's overlooking your life.

2:55

And I just feel to remind you today, no, the Lord has a plan for your life.

2:59

But we also need to be reminded the Lord has a plan that's bigger than our lives.

3:05

Sometimes we live with the blinkers on, hey, and it's just a little bit like it's all about me.

3:10

No, the Lord's got a plan that's bigger than you.

3:12

The Lord has a plan that is touching the world.
