About this sermon
The lesson turns on a grammatical point: a faith and the faith are not the same thing. Chris Kramer works through the rich young ruler's list of commandments kept from youth, James 2 on faith without works, and the one body and one faith of Ephesians 4, then asks what a person's faith actually rests on — a feeling, a tally of good deeds, someone else's praise, a near miss on an icy road. It closes in Colossians 1:23: continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast.
