Faith Responds With Action

Sunday Rewind is a 5-day Devotional based on the weekly sermon at Resonate Community Church

December 21st Sermon, Day 4

After the angels left, the shepherds had a choice. They could dismiss what they had experienced. They could stay in their comfort zone. Or they could act in faith.

They chose to go. “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened.” Faith is not just believing something is true—it’s responding to what God has said.

God invites us into His plans, but He never forces us. The shepherds stepped forward with curiosity, obedience, and trust. And because they did, they encountered Jesus for themselves.

Faith often begins with a simple step. Not certainty. Not perfection. Just movement toward what God has revealed.

Bible Verse

“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.”
—Luke 2:16 (NIV)

Reflection Question

What step of faith might God be asking you to take in response to what you already know?

Prayer

Lord, give me a heart that responds when You speak. Help me move past fear or hesitation and take the next faithful step You’re calling me to take. I trust You to meet me along the way. Amen.
