Faith is about trusting in God and His promises. It starts with a desire to believe in God’s word and grows as we follow His commandments. Jesus spoke often of faith and its miraculous power, saying, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
The Foundation of Faith
Faith begins with a sincere desire to believe in God’s word. This desire is the seed from which faith sprouts and grows. By nurturing this seed through prayer, study, and obedience to God’s commandments, our faith strengthens. The Bible tells us, “Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). Immersing ourselves in scripture and seeking a relationship with God are crucial steps in cultivating faith.

The Mustard Seed Principle
Jesus used relatable metaphors to explain faith, one of the most compelling being the mustard seed. He said, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17:20). The mustard seed, though tiny, has the potential to grow into a large tree. Similarly, even a small amount of genuine faith can yield extraordinary results.
This principle teaches that it is not the quantity of our faith but its quality and sincerity that matter. A little faith, placed wholly in God, can lead to miraculous outcomes.
Witness this principle in action with Miracle in East Texas, based on a true story. This film highlights how faith and perseverance can lead to incredible and unexpected miracles, proving that even a small amount of faith can have profound effects.
Faith in the Unseen
One of the greatest challenges of faith is believing in what we cannot see. The world often teaches us to rely on tangible evidence and visible proof. However, Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This definition reminds us that faith transcends the physical realm and is rooted in spiritual truth and divine assurance.
In moments of doubt or difficulty, faith acts as a beacon of hope. It provides peace and assurance, knowing that God is in control and His promises are steadfast.
Experience the power of unseen faith in One Night with the King, a dramatic retelling of the biblical story of Esther. This film shows how Esther’s faith and courage changed the course of history, demonstrating the transformative power of trusting in God’s plan.
Miracles Through Faith
Throughout the Bible, faith has been the catalyst for miracles, from the parting of the Red Sea to the healing of the blind. In the New Testament, Jesus performed many miracles, often attributing them to the faith of those involved. For instance, He told the woman who touched His cloak in faith, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering” (Mark 5:34).
These stories remind us that faith is not just a passive belief but an active trust in God’s power and goodness. By placing our faith in Him, we open our lives to His miraculous workings.
The animated film Abraham and Isaac (Living Scriptures Animated Old Testament) brings to life the profound faith of Abraham and the miraculous provision of God. This story highlights the importance of trusting in God’s promises and experiencing His miracles.
Embracing Faith in Daily Life
Incorporating faith into our daily lives means trusting God in both small and significant aspects. It involves turning to Him in prayer, seeking His guidance, and relying on His promises. When faced with challenges, faith encourages us to lean on God rather than our understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6 exhorts us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” Romans 5:1
