Along with the Scripture reading listed, we also read a related reading from Luke 9:18-56. The last two thirds of the Luke's Gospel focus on the last few weeks of Jesus' life. Luke 9:51 focuses our attention on the fact that not only is Jesus on his way to Jerusalem, but he is on his way to the the culmination of His work, the cross.
In this important passage Jesus begins by speaking of the trials and hardships that will come. In response to this, his disciples ask that Jesus would increase their faith.
Jesus responds by telling them that faith is not the issue... the power comes from the object of their faith... God Himself. He gives them an illustration that teaches them that their faith is increased by doing the will of the Master. Jesus' own application comes in verse 10: "So you likewise when you have done all those things...."
If you're doing what God says, your faith is growing stronger. Hence the sermon title: Obedience Increases Faith.
