Growing Faith

How much faith is required for forgiveness or ministry itself?  There is an interesting juxtaposition in Luke 17 between so-called ‘insiders’ and an outsider. Jesus commends the faith of the outsider for turning back toward him and giving thanks. On the other hand, the so-called insiders miss what is right before their eyes. The difference is faith. Faith draws it power not from its size but source. Without it, we cannot forgive, serve, and even have a relationship with the Christ.

Use these questions to read, reflect, and live out Luke 16 this week:

Luke 17v1-4
How does faith empower forgiveness?

Luke 17v5-10
How does faith empower service?

Luke 17v11-19
How does faith empower prayer?

Luke 17v20-37
How does faith equip us for his return?

The Small Groups will study Luke 16 beginning April 29.
