THE ADVANTAGE OF EMPTINESS // Matthew 17:14-27

from REFUGE KENOSHA · host REFUGE CHURCH KENOSHA

In a culture that constantly praises us for pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, it is dangerously easy to bring that same self-reliant mindset into our walk with Jesus. By contrasting the powerless, self-sufficient disciples with a desperate, kneeling father in Matthew 17, we discover that true, mountain-moving faith requires us to drop our "do-it-yourself" attitudes and become completely empty of ourselves.
