When You've Stopped Praying Bold Prayers // Matthew 21:18-22 - PREACH

About this episode

Pastor Carlos Lollett discusses the nature of faith and prayer in the context of unanswered prayers and trusting God.

What do you do when you've prayed for something impossible... and God said no? In Matthew 21, Jesus makes a shocking promise: faith can move mountains. But what does that actually mean? And what happens when the mountain doesn't move? In this message, Pastor Carlos Lollett unpacks Jesus' teaching on mountain-moving faith and shows why faith isn't about positive thinking, manifesting, or trying harder. Real faith isn't confidence in yourself. It's wholehearted trust in God. You'll discover: - Why pretend Christianity can never produce real faith - The difference between faith in "faith" and faith in God - How to trust God when your prayers go unanswered - Why God invites us to keep praying for the impossible If disappointment, doubt, or unanswered prayers have caused you to stop believing God for big things, this message is for you.
