YOUR FAITH HAS A NAME! – Pastor David Rathel

August 4, 2015 by Pastor David Rathel

MustardSeedFaithHand[break]The Bible Does Not Measure Faith By Size Or Degrees.[break]

In The Bible, Each Example Of Faith Is Given A Name By What It Produces In Your Life.

What’s Your Faith Name?

  1. No Faith – Mark 4:39, 40 “And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace, be still.” And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. 40And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

  2. Lack Of Faith – Matthew 13:58 “And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.”

  3. Little Faith – Matthew 6:30  “…will He not much more clothe you?  You of little faith!”

  4. Shallow Faith – Luke 8:13  “Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.”

  5. Borrowed Faith – Matthew 9:2  “Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

  6. Strong Faith – Romans 4:20 – “yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God.”

  7. Great Faith – Matthew. 8:10 – Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.”

  8. Sincere Faith – II Tim. 1:5 – “When I call to remembrance the sincere faith that is in you …”

  9. Divine Faith – Gal. 2:20 – “I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God …”

About Pastor David Rathel

My wife, Melanie, and I moved back to Columbus with our two week old little girl, Hannah, after finishing Graduate School in Fort Worth, Texas in 2001. RiverTown Church was born in a movie theater on September 9th that same year with a vision to be “a church for people who don’t go to church” here in our hometown. God has blessed us since then with a great location on Schomburg Rd. near my old neighborhood and High School. New people are coming to RiverTown all the time and discovering that God can “transform their lives into the likeness of Jesus Christ” through a church family where you can Believe, Belong, and Become!

From our first prayer meetings in a living room in nearby Phenix City, to our preview services and grand opening the Hollywood Connection movie theater, and finally to our current property and buildings on Schomburg Rd. God has led us all the way.

My wife and I both grew up here, so we know the people and love it here. Melanie keeps me going! We’ve been through all the good, the bad, and the ugly of life and have found that everything is sweeter together. You’ll never find us at a church event on a Friday night. We’ve had date night on Fridays since my first day as a Pastor. We met while working together in a Franklin Graham evangelistic crusade here in Columbus in 1996. Our second child is named Graham for that very reason! Our first child, Hannah, was born in Forth Worth just before we finished Seminary in 2001. Two weeks after she was born in Fort Worth, we were on the road back to Columbus to knock on doors and start RiverTown. She and the church will always be the same age!

On this blog, you'll be the first to know what God is teaching me and teaching through me to our church family. We'll laugh together and sometimes cry together. Most of all, you'll be challenged to take your next step in following Jesus Christ.
