Q10
a.
What measure of things is possible for believers in Jesus Christ?
If we have faith in Jesus Christ (even as small as a mustard seed),
nothing will be impossible for us because God is with us.
In Matthew 19:26 - With man this is impossible, but with God all things are
possible.
In Jeremiah 32:27 – “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for
me?”
In Luke 1:37 – “For
no word from God will ever fail.
b. How would you describe the difference between the “little faith”
Jesus condemned and the “small faith” He blesses?
To be
of “little faith” I guess it means “lack of faith”. Nevertheless, to be of
“small faith” as small as a mustard seed in Matthew 13:31-32 - The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man
took and planed in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when
it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree. Therefore the
small faith will grow bigger as the faith is a
blessing from God if we trust and obey Him.
c. For what do you need faith?
I need faith to wait
for God’s timing for the unanswered prayers because God says, “If you believe,
you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer (Matthew 21:22).
Q11, What lessons will you apply to your life this week from Matthew
17:14-21?
My faith maybe small
but it will grow and be able to move a mountain become nothing will be
impossible if Jesus is with me.
