Today, we would say that little things mean a lot or “something small can have a big impact.” This could be good or bad. It could mean that someone is in need, they may be quarantined or sad and you stop by ...read more

Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:20-50
Christ teaches us that our faith, however small it may be, is very much alive, very active and powerful! He compares the growth of our faith to the raising of a tiny mustard seed. If we keep it alive and nature it, we can move mountains with it.
