Making Little Faith Stronger
“Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous.” Romans 4:20-22 NLT 1. CONSISTENCY IS KEY, DISCIPLINE IS THE DOOR! “The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped wood for a fire for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had told him about.” Genesis 22:3 NLT “On the third day of their journey, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.” Genesis 22:4 NLT 2. FAITH STARTS WHERE FACT STOPS! “Stay here with the donkey,’ Abraham told the servants. ‘The boy and I will travel a little farther. We will worship there, and then we will come right back.” Genesis 22:5 NLT “God will provide a sheep for the burnt offering, my son,’ Abraham answered....” Genesis 22:8 NLT 3. LITTLE CHANGE IS BETTER THAN NO CHANGE ! “Abraham!’ God called. ‘Yes,’ he replied. ‘Here I am.” Genesis 22:1 NLT “Abraham! Abraham!’ Yes,’ Abraham replied. ‘Here I am!” Genesis 22:11 NLT VICTORY GROUP QUESTIONS: Do you find yourself struggling most with Consistency or Discipline? Or is it both?
