Strengthening Faith

How can we best strengthen our faith?

• What strengthens your faith the most?
• 2 Timothy 2 v 1-13  
• This passage follows on from yesterdays, as it continues to talk about faithfulness but adding to yesterdays and looking at strengthening our faith.
• When Peter steps out of the Boat he steps out in faith, this strengthens his faith.
• Peter had a great amount of faith and was willing to step out in faith. 
• We need to step out in faith if we are going to dream big. 
• Peter stepped out in faith many more times – people were healed and raised from the dead, all by the power of God. 
• All because Peter was willing to go on the adventure and dream big. 
• What dreams is God giving you? 
• When we step out in faith God will do something. 
• If we live our lives for God and give Him our dreams he can make them happen by the way we follow His will for our life. 
• Psalm 119 v 105 – “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” 
• God shows you the next few steps as you step out in faith and shows you your big dreams but he wants you to step into the future in faith.
