What This Message Was About

Elder Joe Kaye walked through 1 Samuel 14, highlighting the faith of Jonathan as a model of dynamic, active faith that God uses to advance His purposes. This message wasn’t just about a historical battle but about how God calls each of us to step forward, trust Him, and act boldly in faith in a complacent and darkening culture.

Key Takeaways You Don’t Want to Miss

Faith Steps Forward

• Jonathan’s “Come, let us go” shows that true faith doesn’t wait for perfect conditions but acts when God calls, trusting Him for the outcome.
• God often calls us to go despite weakness, limitations, or uncertainty, as seen in Moses’ call in Exodus.

Faith Anticipates God’s Work

• Jonathan’s “It may be that the Lord will work for us” wasn’t uncertainty but eager anticipation.
• Faith looks for God to move, even when we don’t know how, and thanks Him in advance for what He will do.

Faith Trusts God, Not Just Outcomes

• True faith is not in getting what we want but in God Himself.
• Job, Abraham, and Paul lived with faith despite uncertainty, hardship, and unfulfilled personal desires.
• God may withhold something you desire to give you something eternally better.

Faith Recognizes God’s Power

• “There is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few.” God is not limited by your resources, strength, or numbers.
• Romans 8:31 reminds us that if God is for us, who can be against us?
• Until God’s purpose for you is complete, you are indestructible in His hands.

Faith Advances God’s Kingdom

• Jonathan’s faith led to a victory far beyond what he expected, showing how God can use one person of faith to accomplish much for His people.
• God calls each of us to advance His Kingdom in our homes, churches, and communities, not to live in complacency.
