Little Or No Faith

In the Gospel of Matthew, five times Jesus chides His disciples for having little faith or nearly non-existent faith.

  1. Mt. 6:30 > Jesus wants us to trust Him to take care of us.
  2. Mt. 8:26 > Jesus wants us to trust Him during the storms of life.
  3. Mt. 14:31 > Jesus wants us to trust Him when our eyes can easily be diverted from Him onto our circumstances.
  4. Mt. 16:8 > Jesus wants us to trust Him to provide, to remain confident in His capacity and capability.
  5. Mt. 17:20 > Jesus wants us to cultivate faith through fasting and prayer.  Faith for this moment might be secured during a previous moment.
