The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Mark 4:26-32
- Jesus says that our faith is like a seed that grows gradually, almost imperceptibly. How has your faith grown since you first became a Christian? Is there noticeable growth? If what was once a seed now a stalk?
- Jesus also says that what starts out small becomes large. When we look at the apostles, we can see that their faith started out very small, almost non-existent, and yet eventually they were facing all sorts of dangers to preach Christ. How big is your faith? Is it bigger than it was a year ago? Ten years ago?
Mark 4: 35-41
- The disciples seem to show faith when they wake up Jesus in the midst of the storm. They wake Him up because they think that he can in some way help. Do we go to Jesus when we need help?
- Despite their faith in Jesus’ ability to help, they still show a lack of faith in their actions. Yes they think that Jesus can help, but they clearly also believe that the situation is out of control! Do we trust God, and His ability to control the situations around us?
