What does Jesus tell us about justice? When we become aware of the pain of someone else, our first temptation is often to think that their problem is not our problem, and so we avoid thinking about the pain of others.

God doesn't always speak to us through a burning bush or a blinding light or a radiant angel.

There are some obstacles in our life that just seem too big to tackle, too great to overcome. So, rather than face them, we simply live with them, we put up with them, we suffer under their oppressive weight. But that's not the life God desires for us. He wants us to face the challenges, the obstacles, the giants in our life with courage and faith in Him. Listen to this powerful sermon where we learn that our faith is only as great as the giants we're willing to face.
