Summary
Drawing from the account of Jesus calming the storm in Luke 8, the speaker emphasizes that 'little faith' is characterized by waiting until the very last moment before crying out for help. He argues that Jesus tests us even in our areas of perceived strength, challenging us to rely on Him rather than our own expertise or checklists. True faith requires dependence on God even when we feel we have the knowledge or ability to handle a situation ourselves.

Date: 08/16/22 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Jeremy Utley - Faith that Jesus can see
Jeremy Utley · Oct 25, 2015
The central message is the importance of demonstrating a visible faith that Jesus can see, which is characterized by persistent crying out to God. The speaker draws parallels between the paralytic's faith, the widow's persistent pleas, and the need to proactively cry out to God, overcoming the fear of not being heard. Ultimately, true faith is built through the consistent practice of crying out, trusting in God's promise to answer.
