Matthew 17:20-21 "...if you have faith...you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move..."



The whole story is that a man brought his child unto Jesus, saying that the child had a demon and Jesus's apostles couldn't cast the demon out. Here is the verse in context.

14 ¶ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.


I just want to thanks Kor for his wonderful message from the Bible he gave us. He gives us much supprt and encouragement. The message states that even with faith as small a grain of mustard seed we were able to move a mountains. I just want to compliment each one of you on a job well done this weekend. However, dont look back on this weekend as something you have to be recognized by or be praise by from others BUT something that you must work harder on. I want the youth to look back on this weekend as something we put our least effort in, and in the future our effort will only continue to grow and mutiple.
