We are all standing on the shoulders of those who came before us. Our faith is built on the foundation of their faith. They believed in God, even when it was difficult. They trusted in God, even when they didn’t understand everything. They obeyed God, even when it was costly.

We can learn a lot from the faith of those who came before us. We can learn to trust in God, even when we don’t understand everything. We can learn to obey God, even when it’s costly. We can learn to love God and others, even when it’s difficult.

Here are just a few examples of the faith of those who came before us:

· Abraham believed God when he promised him a son, even though he was old, and his wife was barren.

· David was a shepherd boy who defeated Goliath, the giant Philistine warrior.

· Chuck Gambill left his home in Texas and moved to the NKY area to plant a Church of Christ in this area.

· Ken Carter, Gene Harlow and Art Watson moved their families to this area and left their home church to lead the Summit Church of Christ.

Sir Isaac Newton, the famous English scientist, once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” I stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, and I am thankful for their faith. 

Let us resolve to have the same kind of faith. Let us trust in God, even when we don’t understand everything. Let us obey God, even when it’s costly. Let us love God and others, even when it’s difficult.
