My Faith's Got Shoes: The Good News That Keeps You Moving - Pastor Nathan, July 26th

Pastor Nathan Rockefeller draws on a children's camp song called "My Faith's Got Shoes" to explore what it means for a Christian to wear their faith actively and without ever taking it off. Using Isaiah 52 and 53 alongside Ephesians 6:15, he argues that the "good news shoes" described in scripture are not Sunday-only footwear but a permanent piece of spiritual armor meant to be worn in every situation and every environment. The gospel, rooted in the prophetic vision of Isaiah and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, is the manufacturer of these shoes, and the peace they provide frees believers from hiding and equips them to bring the message of salvation to anyone they encounter. The sermon is a personal confession as much as a teaching, with the pastor acknowledging his own tendency to compartmentalize his faith depending on his surroundings, and issuing a challenge to himself and the congregation to keep those shoes laced up tight no matter where they go.
