Jesus and the two daughters

February 7, 2016 Preacher: Scott Hollingshead Series: Discipleship Defined

Topic: Faith Scripture: Mark 5:21–43

BIG IDEA: Enlarge the scope of your faith to match the size of your God.

1. God-sized faith is wrought in desperation
Desperation is vulnerable but with God, it’s situating yourself under His blessing.

2. God-sized faith is persistent in delay
Have you ever felt like God was starting to work on something in your life when suddenly there seemed to be a delay?
Delays can be faith crushing or faith building. The difference is persistent faith.
Charles Spurgeon “I believe that he perceived it by the pleasure, which it caused him. Something gave him unusual joy. A faith touch had reached him through his clothes and he rejoiced to respond by imparting healing virtue from himself.” vv. 31-34

3. God-sized faith is undeterred by doubt
What makes God-sized faith God-sized is that you don’t confine God to the box of your own understanding and logic.

Enlarge the scope of your faith to match the size of your God.
