	In recent years, there has been a movement of people away from Christianity to a path toward unbelief. This shift is called Deconstruction which is defined as the process of dissecting and often rejecting the beliefs that you once held true. Like taking a building apart section by section, deconstructing is taking apart your faith to examine it, piece by piece, to see if those beliefs are worthy of your trust.

	The wrap up message in our Under Construction series will focus on this aspect of faith: Believe through Something. We have to build our faith by continuing to believe God as we go through some of life’s hard turns.  This represents some of the grind of faith. It’s keep moving forward through difficult seasons is one of the most amazing expressions of faith. God works by using what we go through to create some of our greatest growth.  I’m captivated by the way Peter describes this fact: “what you are experiencing is truly part of God’s grace for you. Stand firm in this grace.” (1 Peter 5:12).

	Week 3 in our Under Construction study brings us to the challenge of building our faith by asking in faith for God to do bold specific things.  We are going to learn to believe FOR something. Matthew 17 includes a rare look at a side of Jesus’ humanity we don’t think about…experiencing – frustration. The disciples’ revealed a fault in their faith, they had “little faith” or more specifically “poor faith.”  What made it poor and frustrating to Jesus was its lack of complete reliance on Him.  As we learn to ask in faith, we’ll unearth some important rhythms to direct our full reliance on Jesus as we believe for bold and specific things.

	This message centers on building our faith to believe on Jesus – is Jesus the only way of salvation? While there are some aspects of truth and select beauty found in some rituals of the world’s religions, Paul rightly concluded, “they have enthusiasm for God but it is misdirected zeal” (Romans 10:2).  Jesus made it very clear in John 14:6 that He is the only way to the Father. Our aiming point is to be humbled and compassionate – joining Jesus in a mission to reach the utter lostness of our world and putting our continuing trust on Him as Lord.

	I am sympathetic with these triggers for deconstruction. I’ve experienced some of those disappointments myself. But if you turn away from faith, what else are you going to believe in?  You might be telling yourself nothing. But not believing in anything, is really not an option.



	It’s been studied and shown repeatedly that human beings are built with an instinctive space in our spiritual makeup that longs for something outside of our own selves to believe in and trust in. There has never been a single atheistic culture ever discovered. Every society, existing or extinct, has had core beliefs in something outside of its natural self.  We are hard wired to believe.
