This week on Experience Church, Mark Sayers from Red Church shares a powerful and timely message titled “Not by Thought, but by Faith”, inviting us to rethink what faith really means in a world shaped by positivity, manifestation, and self‑effort.

Mark reflects on how easily the biblical understanding of faith can be shaped by modern ideas of positive thinking. Drawing directly from Nehemiah’s story, he contrasts faith rooted in techniques like visualisation, mental focus, or repeating the right thoughts with a faith grounded in dependence on God. Rather than confidence in our own clarity, certainty, or inner strength, faith is shown as a lived posture of trust — taking steps in fear and uncertainty, anchored not in human thinking but in God’s word and power.
