Sometimes, all the wisdom and experience in the world tell us to “stay put.” Don’t try. Don’t hope. Don’t believe anything will change. Whether it's a personal struggle or a societal issue that feels too broken to fix, it can be easy to settle into a mindset that our problems are too big, and we should stop expecting more. But what if there is a power greater than the greatest problems we face? 

In this sermon, we study the story of a desperate father who took a risk because he dared to believe that Jesus might actually be bigger than his son’s lifelong, life-altering condition. What if we, like him, are being invited to step out in faith in the face of our own challenges? And what if God wants to do something that seems impossible if we will only dare to act on what we know to be true about Him?
