Matthew 8:23-27 NIV
Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. (24) Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. (25) The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” (26) He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. (27) The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

2.“YOU OF LITTLE FAITH”

Colossians 3:8-10 CEB
But now set aside these things, such as anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene language. (9) Don’t lie to each other. Take off the old human nature with its practices (10) and put on the new nature, which is renewed in knowledge by conforming to the image of the one who created it.
Hebrews 10:38-39 CEB
but my righteous one will live by faith, and my whole being won’t be pleased with anyone who shrinks back. (39) But we aren’t the sort of people who timidly draw back and end up being destroyed. We’re the sort of people who have faith so that our whole beings are preserved.
