And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Matt 3:17
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. Hebrews 11:6 NIV
Faith is not: Busyness
So we make it our goal to please Him, 2 Corinthians 5:9a NIV
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Genesis 5:24
Faith is not a: Moment
For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Faith: Fades
when: Fear
grows louder
3 ways to have AMAZING faith!
1. Amazing faith comes from: Hearing
God
So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. Romans 10:17
2. Amazing faith comes from: Remembering
God
“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders he has done…
so the next generation would know them…
and they in turn would tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God.”
Psalm 78:4–7
3. Amazing faith uses what you: Already Have
(1)Then Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to my voice? For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”
(2)And the LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand?”
“A staff,” he replied. Exodus 4:2
“He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith. Mark 6:5–6 (NIV)
“When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, ‘I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.’ Luke 7:9 (NIV)
Only two different kinds of people amazed Him:
Weak faith and
Strong faith
