Summary

WEEK 4: MUSTARD: The Seed That Can Change Everything // The Tragedy of Trying - What to Do When Your Faith is Fatigued
Have you ever stopped using your faith because it didn’t work the last time you tried? Maybe you felt embarrassed, disappointed, or exposed—and instead of trying again, you shut faith down altogether. In Week 4 of our series MUSTARD: The Seed That Can Change Everything, Pastor Mike Todd takes us to Matthew 17, where the disciples failed to cast out a demon, and Jesus used the moment to grow their faith. This message uncovers how we often avoid embarrassment, correction, exposed insufficiencies, the requirements for growth, and disappointment when walking out in faith again. But the truth is, these are the exact places God wants to develop our faith. If your faith has been sitting on the sidelines, it's time to get back in the game. This message will challenge you to put your faith to work again.

Matthew 17:14-20 AMP
Hebrews 12:6 NIV
