Increase My Faith Matt. 17:20 Luke 17:6

Recognizing Our Potential It is difficult to see the potential of something as small as a mustard seed. How many of us feel as if our faith is as a mustard seed? Do you recognize your potential? Faith as a mustard seed starts out small but can grow into a beautiful, living, and thriving faith!

Recognizing Our Potential Your faith in God, even as small as a mustard seed, is capable of incredible things: Matt. 17:20 – moving mountains Luke 17:6 – uprooting trees Your faith in God makes you capable of the impossible (Matt. 17:20; Mark 9:23).

Defining Faith What is faith? Heb. 11:1 – ὑπόστασις - Greek for “substance” – “support; substructure, foundation” Faith is the foundation for hope! Faith is the lifeblood of a relationship with God and the foundation for a hope of eternal life.

Increasing My Faith Mark 9:17-22, 23-24 Both the disciples in Luke 17 and this man in Mark 9 had the same need – an increase in faith. A sense of urgency is seen from the man in Mark 9:24. Do we feel a sense of urgency for a stronger faith? Sadly, the times that we do feel urgency are often only the times we think we need Jesus to help us.

Increasing My Faith The truth is that once we recognize the critical role of our faith in salvation (Heb. 11:1 – “foundation”), the more urgent we ought to feel to keep it alive and growing! Heb. 11:6 Acts 26:17-18 Rom. 3:21-30 (vv. 22, 25, 26, 28, 30) Acts 14:22; 1 Cor. 16:13; Phil. 1:27; Col. 1:21-23 It is evident from Scripture that maintaining a strong faith is crucial to our spiritual success.

Working For It “Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence.” – Colin Powell It is going to require work and perseverance on our part if we want our faith to increase (Acts 14:22; 2 Pet. 1:5, 8-11; James 2:14-26). These works are works of obedience. They are demonstrations of faith (James 2:21, 25).

The Power of a Thriving Faith A Thriving Faith brings joy! - Phil. 1:25; 1 Pet. 1:8-9) A Thriving Faith brings peace! - Rom. 8:6; 15:13 A Thriving Faith casts out fear - Mark 4:40 A Thriving Faith casts out doubt - Matt. 21:21 A Thriving Faith works wonders - Mark 11:22-24

New Year’s Resolution: In what ways can I demonstrate my faith more obediently to God? I will commit to an obedient faith, recognizing its importance, its role in my salvation, and its power in my life.
