Curious: A Sermon Series About the True Fuel of Faith

Starting Sunday, August 9th

In a culture addicted to information and fixated on certainty, the purpose of faith is often misunderstood as an “easy out” or a convenient excuse to bypass the mysteries of life.

Sadly, even the most deeply religious among us can (at times) mistake the whole point of the journey by assuming faith is about clinging to airtight answers to life’s most difficult questions.

But that’s not how it works. Faith doesn’t thrive on certainty. It thrives on curiosity!

Deep faith requires the courage to ask questions no one else dares to ask, to lean into mystery instead of turning away, and to pursue the unknown–even in the face of great risk.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” ~Hebrews 11:1

Without curiosity faith is not possible. It is the spark, the fuel, and the flame!

Curiosity is a divine gift from a loving God who wants to provoke us into holy pursuit–a pursuit to know Him more deeply, to understand our neighbors (even our enemies) more compassionately, and to discover our own place and purpose in this world more confidently.

Only the truly curious will grow in faith, see the walls of division collapse, and live with contentment in a world filled with the ineffable mysteries of God.
