The Quality of Your Decisions | Mark Machen | Activate Wednesday | Life of Faith Church

Explore how the choices we make influence our faith journey, spiritual growth, and the life we live. Drawing from the stories of Zechariah and Mary in Luke 1, he reveals the transformative power of faith-filled decisions rooted in God’s promises.
Zechariah, despite being righteous and obedient to the law, allowed doubt to cloud his response to God’s promise, nearly missing out on a miracle. Conversely, Mary embraced God’s favor with complete submission, declaring, “Be it unto me according to Your word.” Her decision, though costly in reputation and personal plans, was of such high quality that it paved the way for the birth of Jesus.
Key Takeaways:
Faith over Obedience Alone: Obedience to rules doesn’t produce faith. True faith arises when we rely on God’s grace and favor, personified in Jesus Christ.
The Weight of Decisions: The quality of your decisions determines how deeply they take root in your life and how long they last. Decisions rooted in faith can withstand trials and doubts.
See Yourself as God Sees You: Recognize your identity as a favored child and servant of God. Submission to His Word and plans ensures lasting impact.
Faith and Favor: God’s favor, not our effort, produces faith. Trusting His Word, even in the face of impossibility, allows us to experience miracles and blessings.
Pastor Mark challenges us to stop talking ourselves out of miracles and instead, make decisions of lasting quality that align with God’s promises. By seeing ourselves through His grace, believing in His Word, and committing to act on it, we can step into His purpose with confidence and faith.
