Believers Are Called to Believe: Steve and Wendy Backlund’s Message on Faith and Belief Systems

This sermon was originally streamed on November 23, 2025. As believers—people of faith in Jesus Christ—we are called to believe no matter our experience. We are called to walk by faith and not by sight. In this message, Steve and Wendy Backlund unpack the foundational truth that what we believe shapes everything we become. Under the New Covenant, transformation is not sustained by striving, but by believing, and as followers of Jesus, we are called to lead lives marked by faith. This sermon invites us to examine the belief systems that govern our decisions, reminding us that we’ve been given the power to choose the thoughts we partner with and believe. Find out what happens when we partner with lies and be encouraged to partner with the divine truth God is speaking over you. We pray that you say “yes” to the invitation to step into greater clarity, courage, and alignment with the mind of Christ, where transformation begins, and freedom takes root.
