Faith

Jesus’s harshest critisms of His disciples was when they displayed weak faith. On several occasions even getting a bit angry at them for their lack of faith. On the other hand He got quite excited over the faith of a Roman Centerian and declared that He had not seen such great faith in all of Israel. In Romans it says that Abraham grew strong in faith. I want to have strong faith and to be growing stronger all the rest of my life. Jesus said that if I had faith even as small as a mustard seed I can move mountains and nothing will be impossible for me. That is exciting to think about, having great faith and accomplishing great things. So the question is obvious, how do I grow my weak faith into strong faith. If Jesus scolded weak faith and praised great faith I must be responsible, he would not hold people accountable for something they had no control over. So as I study the Bible it looks like growing my faith is like growing tomatoes, there are some basic disciplines that if practiced faithfully results in a growing faith soon to become great. Now that is a journey worth taking. I will be preaching on how to grow our faith this weekend. Next week I will share the principles that I believe causes our faith to grow like a weed.
