In this powerful continuation of “I Believe in Miracles,” we explore what can stop a miracle and how faith—or the lack of it—can impact God’s work in our lives. Drawing from Matthew 13:54-58, we learn that unbelief hindered Jesus from performing miracles in His own hometown.

Yet, in Matthew 9, we see a desperate ruler’s extraordinary faith—his daughter had died, but he approached Jesus saying, “Come lay Your hands on her and she will live!” This man’s expecting faith moved Jesus to act immediately.

In this episode, we unpack:

✅ What causes miracles to stall: unbelief, negativity, and spiritual distractions.

✅ Why Jesus put out the noisy, faithless crowd before raising the girl.

✅ How we can shut out the "noise" in our lives and come to Jesus with expecting faith.

Key Scripture: “I do believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)

In this episode, we dive into the miraculous story of Lazarus in John 11 and uncover a powerful truth: miracles often require faith-filled action.

What barriers in your life might be standing in the way of God’s full work? Discover how faith and action unlock the impossible as we answer the question: Are we rolling away our stones?

In this week’s message, we dive into Jesus’ radical teaching in Luke 6:27-35, where He calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and give generously without expecting anything in return. In a culture obsessed with revenge and retaliation, Jesus flips the script, challenging us to extend grace like lagniappe—a little something extra, undeserved and unexpected. We explore what it means to show love to those who are hardest to love, recognize the desperation behind difficult behavior, and practice forgiveness that reflects the heart of the Gospel. Tune in as we unpack practical ways to live out this powerful call to "Give: Love" in our everyday lives.

In this message, we dive into the profound teaching of Jesus in Luke 6:36-45, where He calls us to embody a spirit of mercy, generosity, and forgiveness. Jesus reminds us that mercy isn’t just an action but a reflection of the very nature of God.

We explore how living a life of mercy sets us apart, contrasting the grace-filled life Jesus desires with the judgmental tendencies of the Pharisees. Mercy liberates both the giver and the receiver, allowing us to break free from the chains of resentment and judgmentalism.

Join us as we unpack the spiritual freedom that comes from living generously with mercy and grace.
