Little Faith - Part 2 Radical Faith Sermon Series

Radical Faith Sermon Series - Pt. 2 Little Faith: “The Doubting Faith”

Sunday, January 12, 2020

Scripture: Matthew 14: 22 – 32

Pastor Bruce Davis

Matthew 14: 22 – 32 NIV

Little faith means not being fully comfortable about a favorable outcome; Faith gets its strength from the Word of God!  

Doubt causes Fear, and Fear Cripples Faith! 

Little Faith is the process that all believers must take as you build your confidence in what you hope God can do through you and for you! 

The principle of doubt is based on Ignorance. (Lack of experiential knowledge) You must experience Jesus and His word!

Doubt is the fire that tests our faith!

Doubt will not leave your heart until you build confidence in God and His word! 

Doubt conveys thoughts of failure! 

Doubt sleeps in our hearts and is awakened by acts of faith. (You will not know how much you doubt until you start to walk on your waters in a raging storm.) 

Doubt is exposed through challenges!  God must allow you to be challenged to expose doubt so that He can help you to remove it through the practicing of His Word! 

God elevates you from Baby Faith to Little Faith and then on to Great Faith. (You cannot elevate yourself; self-elevation is not allowed in the Kingdom) 

Conclusion:

Matthew 8:23 – 27 NIV

Why are you so Afraid? (What is the origin of your fearfulness?) 

Fear of failure cripples Faith Walkers. (Don’t think so highly of yourself! God will allow you to fail a couple of times before you succeed to get that self-centeredness out of your heart)

You cannot be a Faith Walker and care about how you are viewed by others! 

Action Plan

Practice the Word of God to Kill your Doubt that Produces Fear!

Join Pastor Bruce next week at our 8 am and 10 am experiences for a continuation of his Radical Faith Sermon Series.
