Sermon on Faith — Outlines & Ideas

Build your congregation's faith with a well-prepared sermon. AI-powered exegesis, outlines, and illustrations on trusting God.

Faith is the foundation of the Christian life — "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). A sermon on faith can strengthen wavering believers, challenge complacent ones, and inspire everyone to trust God more deeply in their daily circumstances.

Preaching Tips

  • Use Hebrews 11 as a "faith hall of fame" — retell one or two stories with fresh detail.
  • Be honest about doubt. Mark 9:24 gives permission for "faith with questions."
  • End with a concrete faith challenge — one specific area to trust God this week.
