Faith Like a Mustard Seed (Luke 13 & 17) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

What is faith, and how do we strengthen it? Jesus was asked how much faith is needed in life and responded that all we need is faith the size of a mustard seed. What is that supposed to mean? Faith does not depend on any action or merit of our own, but on what we put our faith in. The smallest thing can have tremendous potential in the right hands. This lesson will show children that we don’t need to have special qualities or do specific things to be used by the Lord.

We sometimes ask the same question the disciples did: how much faith do we need? Can we determine if we have or do “enough” for God? The parable of the mustard seed shows us we will never “be enough”, nor do we need to. Jesus provides all that we need. The Holy Spirit gives us faith. Our salvation and our faith are not about what we do or how we do it but trusting in God to handle our needs.
