How Does God Grow Your Faith?

Sermon: When We Experience the Supernatural

John 2:1-11

Pastor Jim Lucas

Sermon Summary

The Big Idea of this study is that our faith grows when we experience the “signs” that Jesus is the Son of God and that we can have life in his name.

While our Western World downplays the existence of the supernatural, Jesus continues to reveal himself and his power in creation. From the very beginning of the Church the people of God have experienced the manifestations of his power over creation through miraculous healings and miracles of many kinds. Sometimes it is hard for those of us in the Western World to understand that Christianity is not simply an intellectual belief system. For the truth of our faith is demonstrated with power. The earliest disciples believed because of the signs that Jesus used to demonstrate who he was. It is not so different today. People believe because Jesus demonstrates that he is worthy of belief.

Our text this week is a study in the importance of the miraculous in the life of a believer. Our faith grows through miraculous experiences. It is not the only reason for belief but it is an important way that the Holy Spirit works in our lives. In fact we should be expecting the Lord to work this way. He answers prayer, he does the unexpected, he gets our attention and reminds us as Paul did the Corinthians (1 Cor. 4:20) that the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

Questions for Discussion:

1. What convinced the disciples that Jesus was the son of God? If they were not convinced by his intellectual arguments from Scripture, his genealogy or his divine presence what does that say about our attempts to convince people of his deity and saving work?

2. Discuss this thought: “Our faith is not a leap in the dark, it is not a choice without evidence, it is putting our trust in someone who have been proven to be trustworthy.”

3. Discuss miracles that you have experienced personally. What does that remembering do to your faith?

4. How might you add a habit to your life that would remind you of the power of God?
