The gist of it was that the kingdom of God is built by faithful people. You don't need to be the "giants" of faith, but just simply being obedient when God prompts you. What was interesting was the example of Andrew.
I never noticed actually how significant Andrew was in the Bible until Ps Dishan mentioned it. This disciple was only mentioned a few times, and always, it makes reference to him as "Simon Peter's brother" (in case people did not know him). And it was pointed out that actually, Andrew was one of the first to follow Jesus, even before Peter. In fact, he was the one who brought Peter to Christ (literally) [John 1:40-42]. And if you noticed, he's always bringing someone to see Jesus, faithfully doing so, and always by faith in Jesus. [John 6:8-9; 12:20-22] And instead of being "negative" about feeding the 5,000, Andrew just brought the boy with the 5 loaves and 2 fish to Jesus.
And another thing that was emphasized was that "Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so" (it's a hymn). And it's amazing that it is God's promise and covenant. Even if you don't feel so, it is written that God loves you and you can always fall back on this truth.
To end, I shall quote him:
"Faith is not a feeling, it's a reality"
