Crazy Faith

Series: Throughout the Bible there are stories of people who lived their life by faith and accomplished incredible things for God.  They just believed God, even without having all the facts they may have wanted upfront. We call them heroes of the faith.  But what if they weren't just ancient people we read about, but are people we know.  What if you lived your life in such a way that you were considered a person of great faith, maybe even crazy faith?
Sermon: The people of the Bible who lived with a crazy amount of faith built floating zoos, left their country to an unknown land, and slew giants.  What do we need to know about faith to live all out for God?  Discover how to have faith beyond "the status quo, or just getting by," and really start living out crazy faith.
