Increase Our Faith

Oct 5, 2025  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Accountable relationships, not willpower, are the ordinary means of Christian growth according to this sermon on Luke 17:1-10. Because others are watching, followers of Jesus must be careful with their influence and generous with forgiveness. Drawing on Raleigh B. Washington's claim that relationship cures hurt, hatred, and hostility, Rev. Holt ties the mustard seed to God's power and ends with the humble servant who does only what duty requires.
