Moving Mountains

July 1, 2026

In this opening message of our new series, Real Faith, we peel back the layers of religious jargon to discover the true heart of biblical faith: relational trust. Looking at the powerful narratives in Matthew 17, where the disciples fail to heal a suffering boy, and Matthew 14, where Peter sinks into the waves, we confront a common human experience, intimidation. By exploring the original Greek context, we uncover the difference between being completely faithless (apistos) and experiencing a temporary poverty or fracture of faith (oligo pistia). When faced with overwhelming, mountain-sized crises, our faith can easily shift from radical reliance on God to panic and self-sufficiency. But Jesus' response isn't rejection; it's a compassionate invitation. Discover how even a mustard-seed-sized shift back toward Jesus can realign our hearts, break the grip of fear, and unlock the power of a lifestyle rooted in prayer and alignment with the Father's will.
