What is faith, and what can it do? In two incredible moments, we see Jesus respond to two very different people’s faith and completely change their lives. We will discuss how to have faith today and how Jesus will respond to it.

Any farmer can tell you that you need good soil to grow productive crops, so Jesus uses this picture to teach His followers how to be productive disciples. As we read Jesus’ first parable, we will be challenged to ask, “Which kind of soil am I?”

What is the result of choosing to live like Jesus? If we choose to do this, what difference will we see in our lives? In this example, Jesus dramatically compares the life built on His foundation and the life built on a human foundation.

Resurrection Day is the most significant holiday on the Christian calendar. Our forgiveness was secured on the cross, but our hope was assured with the empty tomb. Today, we remember the resurrection and the life it promises.

Our character reflects whomever we follow. A disciple should ultimately be a carbon copy of their teacher. As He continues The Sermon on the Plain, Jesus describes what it tangibly means to follow Him and be transformed into His likeness.

Anybody can love a person who loves them back, but Jesus expects more of His followers. As the Sermon on the Plain continues, Jesus upends His disciples’ understanding of how to react when they are taken advantage of because of their faith.
