Move That Mountain

In this message Pastor J.R. teaches that faith is not about having enough confidence in ourselves, but about placing our trust in the greatness of God even when the "mountains" in our lives seem impossible to move. Using the story of Jesus healing the demon possessed boy in Matthew 17, he explains that the disciples failed because they relied on past experiences instead of maintaining present dependence on God. He emphasizes that God is not looking for mountain sized faith, but mustard seed faith that is rooted in His power, reminding us that the size of our God matters far more than the size of our faith. Pastor J.R. challenges the church to take the next step of obedience, whether that means serving, inviting others, reconciling relationships, or trusting God with difficult circumstances because faith prays and then acts. He closes by encouraging everyone that addictions, fear, the past, and even the greatest obstacles do not have the final word, because God is able to move mountains and accomplish what seems impossible.
