Have you ever caught a yawn from someone? One person yawns, then you yawn, then everyone in the room is yawning! Some things spread just by being near them. Faith is a little like that. It spreads through hearing.

Today’s verse says, “faith comes from hearing…the word of Christ.” That means when people hear about Jesus, faith can grow in their hearts. It’s not something you squeeze out by trying really hard. It grows when you listen to God’s truth.

There’s a story in the Bible about a man who had never been able to walk. One day he was listening to Paul talk about Jesus. As he listened, faith started growing inside him. Paul saw it, told him to stand up, and the man jumped to his feet and walked!

That faith came from hearing about Jesus. So if you ever wish you had more faith, or you know someone who needs faith, the answer is the same—listen! Keep listening to God’s Word. Read it, hear it at church, talk about it with your family. Faith grows the more you fill your ears and heart with Jesus.

Take Action: Today, fill your ears with God’s truth! Ask a parent to read a Bible story with you, listen to a worship song, or read a few verses yourself out loud. As you listen, pray this simple prayer: “God, please grow my faith as I listen to You.” Faith comes from hearing, so give your heart something good to hear today!
