Lord, Increase Our Faith Luke 17:5

Faith Can Be Increased Matthew 6:30; 8:26; 14:30-31; 16:8; 17:20 Mark 9:22-24 Acts 16:5 2 Corinthians 10:15 1 Thessalonians 3:10

Faith Can Be Increased 2 Thessalonians 1:3 2 Peter 1:5-8

Why Increase Faith? To hold on to what we have If we do not increase, we will decrease (Mt. 13:12) To keep from departing the faith If we do not increase, we will depart (1 Tim. 1:19; 4:1; 6:21; 2 Tim. 3:8; Heb. 10:39)

Why Increase Faith? To accomplish greater things If we do not increase, we will hold back (Mt. 25:25; Mk. 4:40) To fortify ourselves If we do not increase, we will be weak (1 Pet. 1:7; 5:9)

Is My Faith Increasing? Am I more trusting of God’s word? Am I more obedient to God’s word? Am I more evangelistic with God’s word?

How to Increase Our Faith Not by something miraculous Not by ignoring it Not by giving up Not by accident

How to Increase Our Faith By exercising our faith (1 Tim. 4:7-8; Heb. 5:13-14; 12:8) Exercise regularly Exercise persistently Exercise at any age
