Increase Our Faith | We are the Church | 07/12/25 | Pst Mambwe

In today's episode we explore Jesus' teaching on growing faith — and why the apostles themselves felt compelled to say, "Lord, increase our faith." Using Luke 17 as our foundation, we discuss:

In This Episode:

• The inevitability of temptations and why scandals should grieve us but never surprise us
• Jesus' solemn warning against causing others to stumble
• The call to a holy life — confronting sin honestly and forgiving repeatedly
• Why forgiveness requires supernatural strength
• How great evil reveals the limits of our strength
• The father's prayer: "I believe; help my unbelief"
• Why imperfect, mustard-seed faith is still powerful in God's hands
• What it looks like to grow in faith through battles, doubts, and trials

Faith doesn't grow by accident. It grows when we ask Jesus to give what we lack — strength against temptation, power to forgive, endurance in trials, and hope in the face of darkness.
