O Ye of Little Faith (17 of 21)
Series: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
Dan Rodgers
Matthew 6:25-34
March 8, 2006
INTRODUCTION: In our lesson last week, we looked at the Lord's comments concerning money. This evening, we turn our attention to the importance of faith.
And how important is faith? Well, in Hebrews 11:6, it says, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

b. You may say, "I know God's earth produces all things necessary to life, but what I put on my table must be purchased with money; and sometimes I don't have the money."
1) This is where faith comes in. We are to believe God when He promises to provide. We may not know how He will provide, but faith says He will.
? Philip. 4:19, But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
? Psalm 37:25, I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begg ...
