Do You Have a Small View of God? - Love Worth Finding - January 27


January 27, 2024 – Do You Have a Small View of God?
Romans 4:18-21
Sermon: 2052 How to Be Strong in the Faith

Pray Over This

“Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.”
Romans 4:18-21

Ponder This

People with weak faith often have a small view of God. If your faith is weak, you need to get to know God. The Bible says, “And those who know Your name will put their trust in You” (Psalm 9:10). Glance at your problem, but gaze at your God. Verse 18 says of Abraham, “Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed.” Do you think you’re hopeless? Do you think God is finished with you or never got started with you? Do you think other people can know God but not you? God sent me here to tell you that God has hope for you.

Abraham looked at God who can bring life out of death and make something out of nothing, and said, “I am going to believe in that God!” Don’t look at yourself or your problems and say you’re hopeless. You are not! God can bring life to you, and God will make something out of you. The only thing God makes something out of is nothing, and so if you’ll become nothing, He’ll make something out of you. It’s time you stop relying on yourself and hope in God.

  • When have you felt hopeless? How do you respond in these moments?
  • What would it look like to turn to God in your hopeless moment?

Practice This

Tell God about the areas in which you feel hopeless and discouraged. Submit to Him and trust Him with those things.
