We live in days when faithfulness seems like a bad choice, because what if something better comes along? What if you say 'yes' to that meet-up, but a better event comes up? What if you say 'yes' to this person, but a better person comes along? Pastor JD encourages us to reevaluate our current status quo, and look at fai...

Jesus talked about a faith that can "move mountains," but not even his disciples were able to have this faith; at least not at first.

Desperate, the dad brought his child to Jesus, and in a moment, Jesus rebuked the evil spirit that was tormenting the boy. The disciples were puzzled. How come they couldn't do anything about it? It seemed so easy to Jesus!...
