What is Little Faith? Jesus speaks 4 times about little Faith. So when does he talk about it? And what does He say what it really is? It is closer then we think. We are dealing with it on a daily base, we need to recognize it.
#1 Worry
about life is little Faith
Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?……. ….. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
#2 Being Fearful, having fear
in situations of life is Little Faith
Matthew 8:26 But He said to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
#3 Doubt
His Word vs circumstances is Little Faith
Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water. 29 So He said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus………. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
#4 To Reason
about what Jesus said, meant... Think over.... to Calculate...
Try to find out the facts... is Little Faith
Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?
