Rooted in Grace, Not Effort

Increase our faith, the apostles ask, and Jesus answers with a mustard seed and a servant coming in from the field. The power of faith lies in its object, not its size, like a wire that carries current from the true power source. A sports bar gig in Gainesville, Georgia that paid less than promised shows how we come to feel God owes us, and the sermon firmly rejects the claim that unanswered prayers for healing reflect weak faith.
