FAITH THAT MOVES MOUNTAINS

Matthew 17:14-27
Key Verse: 17:20

“He replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’”

1. Read verses 14-15. Who are they? As they approached the crowd, who came to Jesus with what problem and with what kind of attitude? How did he describe the symptoms of his son? What was this father’s agony?

2. Read verses 16-18. What compounded the man’s distress? (16) Why did Jesus rebuke his generation? (17a) What did he do for the boy? (17b-18)

3. Read verses 19-21. Which disciples had failed to drive out the demon? What did they ask Jesus privately? What did Jesus see as their problem? (20; Mark 9:29)

4. What does Jesus mean by “faith as small as a mustard seed?” And by “moving a mountain?” What did he promise? (See also 1 John 5:14-15)

5. Read verses 22-23. What did Jesus tell his disciples when they came together in Galilee? In what way is this a preview of the Gospel? How did they respond?

6. Read verses 24-27. Who challenged Peter when they arrived in Capernaum? (24) What does his response show about Jesus? (25a) What did Jesus teach him about his true identity? (25b-26) Why did he pay the tax anyway? How Jesus and Peter find necessary money to pay the tax? What can we learn from this event?
