Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Jesus compare faith to a mustard seed?

The mustard seed was the smallest seed Palestinian farmers used, yet it grew into the largest garden plant. Jesus' point: it's not the SIZE of your faith that matters but the God it's planted in. Tiny faith in a massive God produces massive results.

How do I grow my faith?

Romans 10:17 — faith comes by hearing God's Word. Read Scripture, listen to it, meditate on it. Faith also grows through testing (James 1:3) and through community (Hebrews 10:25). Every answered prayer becomes evidence that fuels greater faith.
