Matthew Chapter 17

We are going to focus on verses 14-23 this week. These verses deal with faith and how we must have faith throughout every circumstance in life. So far the book of Matthew has shown us how faithless we can be and much faith we really need. These verses also show us how Jesus can have a temper because of our little faith. I hope this chapter encourages you to trust in the Lord with all your heart.

1. Why does Jesus compare the faith of the ideal disciple to a mustard seed, something so small, but very powerful?
2. What is prayer and fasting?
3. Why must you pray and fast to show and grow your faith in Christ?
4. How can we have more faith in Christ?
5. How can we fall deeper in love with God?
