Topic: GROWING YOUR FAITH I

Memory Verse: Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Bible Reading: Romans 12:3

Message: The Bible reading for today tells us that the day you became born again, God gave you a ‘measure of faith’. Ephesians 2:8 says that by grace you are saved through faith. In other words, if there isn’t that measure of faith, there won’t be salvation at all. This also implies that faith can grow from the measure given at salvation or remain stagnant. For faith to grow, we must take certain steps. Our study today would focus on one of the steps, which is ‘hearing the word of God’.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

The first way your faith can grow is by hearing the word of God. Some people wonder why we keep coming to fellowships, listening to sermons and reading the Bible; it is so that our faith can grow. In Psalm 119:130, the Bible says:

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

The more the word of God comes into your heart, the more light you have and the more understanding you get. It’s like someone who is driving a car at night; if the headlights are bright, he or she can move fast, otherwise the person would be compelled to move slowly. If the headlights were to go out completely however, the driver would be forced to stop. Proverbs 4:18 says, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

The more you study the word of God, attend Sunday School and Bible Study sessions as well as listen to sermons, the greater your faith and the brighter your future too.

God expects us to be deliberate about growing the faith we received at salvation. If however, you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and saviour, you should do so right away so you can also begin to grow your faith In God.

Hymn: I Am So Glad That Our Father In Heav’n
Points: Study the word of God every day.
Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 1, Deuteronomy 2

Title: I Am so Glad That Our Father in Heaven.
Chorus: I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus love me,
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me..

  1. I am so glad that our Father in heaven

Tells of His love in the book He has given;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

  2. Jesus loves me and I know I love Him; 

Love brought Him down my lost soul to redeem;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree:
Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me.

  3. In this assurance I find sweetest rest,

Trusting in Jesus I know I am blest;
Satan dismayed from my soul doth now flee
When I just tell him that Jesus loves me.

  4. Oh, if there's only one song I can sing,

When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus Loves me!”

  5. If one should ask of me, how can I tell?

Glory to Jesus, I know very well!
God’s Holy Spirit with mine doth agree,
Constantly witnessing-Jesus loves me.
