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?

Tougher Than It Seems
Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. In a world where “might makes right,” gentleness can feel like weakness. But what if it is actually a surprising kind of strength? God places a high value on gentleness. Jesus describes himself as gentle, and it is listed among the nine fruits of the Spirit that God wants to grow in each of us. So, what is it about gentleness that God prizes? And what does it look like to choose gentleness when the world around us prefers control and power? In this sermon, we close out our Cultivate series by reshaping our view of gentleness and considering whether it might just be one of the most powerful ways we reflect Jesus to the world.
