Matthew 21:21–22 21 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more.

Last week we ended with a question - Where are you? Where Are You? It’s a question we asked of our selves in our relationship with God, and it is also a question we could easily ask of God in those times when we are struggling, overwhelmed, and/or just feeling lost.

A wise person plays the long game. They don’t get distracted by the latest fad or fashion. They know what it is they are chasing and they are willing to work very hard to achieve it.

Intro Have you ever seen a picture of yourself and said, “That’s not what I look like, is it?” For most of us, it’s our drivers license. Does anyone have a drivers license pic that they pull out and go, “Man. I look good.” No, we all look terrible. You know that feeling though? Someone out in public…
