Sermon Notes: Qualities of Great Faith


Qualities of Great Faith
   I.  Respond to the amount of light we have.
-Mark 3:8
-MacArthur "This woman's faith was not great because it was stronger or more sincere or mature than the faith of many Jews who believed in Christ but because it was based on so little light."
-Luke 11:34-36
 
  II.  React to our condition with repentance.
-mercy = eleos = compassion, have pity, mercy; Often in the New Testament this verb was used of "the breaking in of divine mercy into the reality of human misery." New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology
-Is. 35:5-6, 61:1
 
  III.  Remain persistent in times of silence.
 
  IV. Readiness to submit in humility.
-bow down = proskuneo = worship, bown down, prostrate, kneel, fall down and worship
