Topic: Faith

Discussion Questions:
1) What is faith? And what are some other words for faith?
2) Can you think of some examples of faith?
3) Who or what do we usually put our faith in?
4) What do you think the following verses teach about faith?

Matthew 17:20
If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, it is enough. You can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there.” And it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

Hebrews 11:1,6
Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see. Without faith it’s impossible to please God. Those who come to God must believe that He exists. And they must believe that He rewards those who look to Him.

Romans 3:22
We are made right with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ. That happens to all who believe.

We have been made right with God because of our faith. Now we have peace with Him because of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8,9
God's grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn't come from anything you do. It is God's gift. It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it.

1 John 5:4
Everyone who is a child of God has won the battle over the world. Our faith has won the battle for us.

6) What difference does it make if we put our faith in Jesus?
