Some Things Can't Be Measured

READ:
​One day the disciples came to Jesus. They were worried they might not have enough faith to follow him. They demanded, “Increase our faith.”

Jesus listened to them and told them that the amount of their faith wasn’t the problem. “If you had trust in God the size of a tiny mustard seed, that would be enough. It’s not how much trust you have, but how you live with that trust. Your faith will show through in how you live. (Luke 17:5-6)
WONDER:
I wonder why the disciples thought they didn’t have enough faith?

I wonder what it feels like to trust someone?
I wonder what it feels like to have trust in God?

I wonder how much faith is enough?

PRAY:
Dear God, help us to see you in our world. Give us hearts big enough to love the world. Give us words to share your love with the world. And help us trust that what we can do will change the world. Amen.

EXTEND
  • Create a prayer pot or prayer jar. You’ll need a small jar or small plant pot, popsicle sticks, and art supplies to decorate the pots and write on the sticks. You can write one general prayer request or a more specific one on each popsicle stick, for example: family, friends, neighborhood, church, creation, a country or region, me, etc. The sticks from your prayer pot can be used to help guide your family prayer time. Each person can select one stick as an inspiration for prayer.
  • Read The Garden of Happiness written by Erika Tamar and illustrated by Barbara Lambase. An overlooked abandoned lot is transformed by a neighborhood into a community garden. Marisol wants to join the gardeners and plant something in the garden. She finds a tiny little spot of dirt left untended and she plants a flat seed she finds. She waters and cares for her little garden patch. Marisol’s surprise plant brings joy to the neighborhood.
