What does it really mean to have faith that pleases God? Is biblical faith simply believing hard enough, or is it something much deeper? In this Bible study from Mark 11:20-26, Pastor Robert examines one of Jesus' most powerful teachings on faith, prayer, forgiveness, and trusting God. Following the withering of the fig tree, Jesus calls His disciples—and us—to place our confidence not in the strength of our faith, but in the faithfulness of God Himself. This passage has often been misunderstood or misapplied. In this message, you'll discover the true meaning behind Jesus' command to “Have faith in God,” what it means to pray believing, how Scripture interprets Scripture, and why forgiveness is essential to an effective prayer life. In this message you'll discover: 1. Why Jesus cursed the fig tree and what it represented 2. The historical and biblical context of Mark 11 3. What Jesus meant when He said, “Have faith in God” 4. Why faith is confidence in God's character—not confidence in ourselves 5. How faith grows through hearing God's Word 6. The biblical meaning of moving mountains 7. The difference between honest questions and unbelief 8. How to pray according to God's will 9. What Jesus meant by “believe that you receive” 10. Why forgiveness and prayer are inseparable 11. How unforgiveness can hinder your relationship with God 12. Practical ways to trust God when circumstances haven't changed yet This verse-by-verse Bible study reminds us that the faith God honors isn't faith in faith—it's faith in a completely trustworthy God. Jesus teaches that genuine faith trusts God's character, prays with confidence according to His will, and keeps a heart free from bitterness through forgiveness. Whether you're facing an impossible situation, wrestling with unanswered prayer, or simply longing for a deeper walk with Christ, this study offers biblical encouragement and practical application rooted in God's Word. We pray that you are blessed by the message!
