Big Idea: Since the beginning God’s desire is get an individual to TRUST HIM. To count Him FAITHFULL…TRUSTWORTHY. Adam RUINED it in the Garden. Jesus RESTORED it at the Resurrection. The Holy Spirit is REVEALING it to you and I today.
When we see people, whose faith leads them to trust God despite their circumstances, we consider them to be some of the strongest people we ever meet. “I’M TRUSTING GOD” should be common terminology among us.
2 THINGS THAT CAUSED JESUS TO MARVEL
- GREAT FAITH – Matthew 8

GOD WANTS TO FUEL YOUR FAITH IN A WORLD THAT IS EMPTY SO THAT YOU CAN BE FAITH-FULL or FULL OF FAITH.
How does He do it?
5 INGREDIENTS GOD USES TO FUEL YOUR FAITH
- 1 TSP OF DOING
When we believe but don’t do; Our dreams won’t ever come true. (Matthew 7:24–29; James 1:22, 25)
- 1 TBSP OF COURAGE
YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN DO; TRUST GOD TO DO WHAT HE ONLY CAN DO.
Matt 4:19; 14:13–20; John 14:12 Matt. 14:16 “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
- 1 OZ. OF CONNECTION
Staying connected to a community of faith grows our faith. When we see God’s faithfulness in someone else’s life, it’s easier
to trust Him with ours.

You know that the testing of your faith... PRODUCES…
Matthew 14:16; Luke 22:32–33; Acts 4:7, 10, 13; John 9:3; 16:33
