Mark 11, did you find it?

Mark 11.

Verse 22.

Jesus had spoken to the fig tree and it obeyed him.

It didn't happen instantaneously on the outside that you could see, but something happened underground, and it dried up from the roots.

And they marveled when they saw how quick the fig tree dried up, and Jesus used this as an occasion, opportunity, to teach them, and of course, us, about faith.

And this is how he started out, verse 22.

What did he say?

Have faith in God.

Said out loud.

Have faith in God.

Again, have faith in God. Now, I know that's a simple sounding phrase, and we've heard that kind of thing a lot before, but don't let it pass by you. People have gotten distracted many ways in this, and you'll hear good people talking about well i i have faith in democracy

you know i have faith in america i have faith i believe in hard work and i believe in treating

people right and i believe in this well you know those are not the same as having faith in God.

Are you with me now?

Having faith in God.

Go to Timothy, 2nd Timothy, and the first chapter, 2nd Timothy and 1, 2 2 Timothy and 1, verse 12, he said, for the which cause I also

suffer these things, nevertheless I'm not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him

against that day.

He didn't you say, I know what I believe.

What did he say?

I know.
