Choice 2: Matthew 8-9; Mark 2. Miracles Are Evidence of Faith and God’s Power 

1.          Using the following references, fill in the chart below by writing in the second column a brief description of each miracle the Lord performed, then in the third column list those who exercised faith for the miracle to occur.

2.          Explain in writing how it affects your faith to know that God has this kind of power.
 Knowing that God has this kind of power gives me hope when my family is sick.  I have faith that if it is God's will, then He will heal those that I love who are sick.  When I desire for someone to be healed I have to remember to have additional faith that the Lord will heal them if and when the time is right.  Even more than the faith that someone can be healed, is the faith that the Lord knows what is best and I need to accept His will.
