What is the first step in having a strong faith? Listen closely to Adrian Rogers.

We have a lot of churches who advertise signs and miracles and wonders. They advertise them and don't do them. Jesus did them and didn't advertise them.

Step number one in having a strong faith, number one is to hear the Word of God, not signs, not wonders, not ecstasies, not supposed miracles.

Let me tell you what faith is. Listen to me. Faith is taking God at His Word. The Word of God.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding, featuring the profound truth of the gospel presented in the

practical teachings of Adrian Rogers. In part one of today's message,

we learned that in the kingdom of heaven, faith is the medium of exchange. Whatever we receive

from God is according to our faith, which is why it's important to strengthen our relationship

with him. There are four steps in developing a strong faith. If you have your Bible

turn to John chapter four, begin in verse 46, as Adrian Rogers shares more about having strong

faith. Now I'm going to share with you from the Word of God a story about a man who came to Jesus,

and this man had a weak faith.

I would call it a superficial faith, even worse, a superstitious faith.

But he went from that superstitious faith to a strong faith, to a saving faith.

And that's what I want us to see today, and I hope that you today will grow in faith.

Now, this man had a problem that was a son that was sick.

And this nobleman wanted Jesus to heal his son.

And the dark soil of that problem was the soil in which the seed of faith would grow. Now, do you want a strong faith?

Do you really? Would you like to really believe God and please God? You know, the Bible says,

without faith, it's impossible to please God. No matter what else you do, I don't care how beautifully you sing this morning, how sacrificial you give, how circumspectly you walk,

how faithfully you serve.

If you're not believing God, you're not pleasing God.
