Listen "#1,301: Faith the Size of a Mustard Seed"
Episode Synopsis
Jesus is telling us that while God can do great things with small faith, our faith doesn’t have to stay small. It can grow. In fact, it’s God’s will for your faith to grow. A mustard seed can grow to become a strong, tall tree. So it is with your faith. The more you trust God, the more you will experience his power. The result is greater faith.Main Points:1. Faith is essential for the Christian. In fact, you cannot become a Christian without faith. Christianity is not just about knowledge and good works. It is about faith.2. You and I have a measure of faith. Right now, it may feel as if your faith is quite small. The question is: What will you do with the faith you possess? Will you exercise your faith? Will you believe God? Will you use the faith you have been given?3. Our struggle is often the refusal to exercise our faith. We don’t use the faith we have. Internally, we know God can do things. We read the Bible and we see his amazing power. We also hear the stories of how God works in people’s lives today. So, our struggle is usually not with God’s ability. Our struggle is with God’s willingness. We know he can, but we doubt he will.Today’s Scripture Verses:Hebrews 11:6 - “And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”Matthew 17:19-20 - “Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
