Much like last week, the title of today’s message is taken from a question Jesus asked of his disciples, “Oh faithless and perverse generation, how long must I endure you?” Jesus is questioning His disciples, the very men He spent time with daily, teaching them what faith is, and how to grow and mature in it. However, it is evident that they struggled to learn the lessons because when presented with a man whose son was possessed by a demon, they were unable to cast it out. After Jesus cast out the demon, He pointed to the disciples’ lack of faith as the reason for their failure. What about us? Are we living a lackluster Christian life because we haven’t taken what God teaches us about the power of faith to heart? Pastor Greg provides some key insights on how we can.
