Forgiveness and Faith for the Impossible

Luke 17:1-10

Sermon Notes:

Despite the inevitable mess of our sin, Jesus Christ enables forgiveness and increases faith.

1) Jesus' Exhortations on Temptation and Forgiveness

2) Plea for Faith

3) Jesus' Response to the Plea

Small Group / Discussion questions:

1. Who in your life might you need to seek forgiveness from for putting stumbling blocks in their way because of your own sin?

2. How would you quantify your own degree of faith? Is it a mustard seed, or do you still feel far off? How does our sin also affect how we feel about our faith?

3. How does pride or self-dependency get in the way of God-dependency? How do Jesus' words that crush pride function to increase faith?
