Mock CG sermon

Jus thot of posting e sermon i shared up here. Haha.. Have a gd read.

Title: Growing in Faith
Luk 17:5 =>And the Apostles said to the Lord, “ Increase our Faith”.

Even for every single one of us, we may go through times where we may find difficult to overcome and we face a situation like the apostles.
And "faith" is describe in Luke 17:6.
So our faith is as a mustard seed, and when we are saved, God input in each one of our hearts a measure of faith, which has the potential to grow to fulfill the calling of God in everyone of our lives.

Today I’m going to share with you all 4 steps which will help all of us to grow in faith:

1)Hearing the Word
What does the bible says abt the word?
Rom 10:17 =>Says that faith comes by hearing & hearing by the Word of God.

What is God speaking to you today?
Is He telling you abt cartain things in your lives that you got to trust God in?
Or is He telling you to reach out to a certain friend or family members in our lives?
It's not jus abt bringing them to church but how are we as a believer with the love of God spread warmth and hope for them?
Shouldn't we be the person to meet the needs of those broken hearted & despair ppl around us?
We should be the one that help them to gain back their confidence and hope in life. We suppose to be the salt of the earth & light of the world.

As you are hearing the Word, "Faith" that is deposited in each one of our hearts, which will demand an individual response.

2)Obeying the Word
When we hear the Word, our response to the Word will determine its effect in our lives.

When God calls us, what is our response?
Are we going to say God Here I am send him or are we going to say God I don’t know how, but I am going to trust in you anyway.

For many of us we may not understand how to face the situation.
But as we began to obey the Word, God will began to increase our faith to the measure that is needed to meet the challenge, the situation & overturn it or to help the person which needs attention.

3)Having a Willing heart

Isaiah 1:19 =>Says that those who willing & obedient shall eat the good of the land.

Friends it not just abt obeying but obeying with a willing heart.
Illustrate: How many of you knows sometimes our parents can get quite naggy?
Eg. during CNY, spring cleaning, most of us will face this situation when our parents wants us to clean the floor, wash toilets or paint the house.
But the main questions abt this is how many of us actually do it willingly?
Or are we simply just obeying without a willing heart.

Look, God does not want us to be robots. He want each and every single one one of us to obey him with a willing heart, and when we obey with a willing heart as promise in Isaiah 1:19, we will eat the good of the land.

4)Acting upon the Word

Guys, it is not enough just hearing & obeying the Word with a willing heart. We can hear the Word, be very obedient & willing but if we do not act upon the word it would result in nothing, for faith without works in dead.

In conclusion, as we begin to hear the word, let us make a decision today to obey the
Word with a willing heart and act upon it. God will add to us the measure of Faith to fulfill the Word He has given to us as a promised.

Thats all guys.. Hehe.. Hope you'll recieved the Word too.
I did some impromptu on the spot also, so didnt add it in.
Cheers...
