Faith must have direction. For some, their faith is more directed toward themselves. They want to experience happiness, success, or some other kind of fulfillment. For others, they have a faith that is directed toward other people. They want to serve and to help others. But Scripture gives us the proper direction of our faith which is toward God. Paul says in 1 Thess. 2:4, "We are not trying to please people, but God." As we continue our "Faith Out Loud" sermon series on the book of 1 Thessalonians, in a sermon called "The Direction of Faith," we will look at 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 where Paul shows us the dangers of having our faith focused in the wrong direction. We also see that as we focus our faith on God, we are not alone. God has given us the family of the church to nurture and challenge us along the way because faith, even faith in the right direction, is still difficult.

Listening to sermons online can be a great way to keep up with a sermon series if you are unable to attend church but should never be a substitute for regular attendance of a gospel-centered and bible teaching church.
