Do You Believe?—by Mike Masola

August 1, 2022

Sermon summary:

John 11: 17–27 Martha believed Jesus had the power to raise Lazarus. 

Jesus has the power to act and get involved even though the odds were against it. We matter to Jesus, even though it's hard to believe when we go through hardship.

Sometimes we believe on an intellectual level, but limit him in practice. We believe but don't expect it to really happen. Do I still believe he can do the impossible?


Where is your faith and belief?

What happened to your spiritual dreams? Stretch your faith, renew your belief. God wants to act.


Psalm 78:9–22

V12–16 God did amazing miracles but the people forgot it, and asked: "Can God also do this?" Although we have the physical evidence, we still doubt.


How do we get to a place where we believe? 


  1. Choose to believe in the power of God's word before it happens.
  2. Remember what God has done. 1 Samuel 17:34–37.
  3. Be inspired by the word. Jeremiah 15:16 God's word gives great joy. Seek inspiration to renew your faith. Let's not lower the bar of what God can do.

We are called to excel in the grace of giving—it’s not just a duty, but a spiritual act of worship. Be consistent and faithful in our giving. Set it aside intentionally, and don’t delay in fulfilling what you’ve committed to the Lord. Don't let your imperfect view of God impact your giving.

Changing takes courage—but parenting God’s way means choosing His path, and knowing where our help comes from. Righteousness is about healing and strengthening relationships, not achieving perfection. Don’t conform to the world’s ways—seek God’s perspective on parenting. Model the behaviour you want to see, and let His Word draw your heart to your children, and theirs to yours. Be present in their spiritual journey—it's not optional, it's your responsibility.

We are like broken pieces of pottery. God went looking for us, he found the fragments of our lives discarded by life/shame/disappointment, and put us back with the blood of Jesus. Treat each other not as broken but perfected through Christ.
