In A Jesus Culture: We Speak to Mountains (Matthew 17:14–20; Joshua10:7–13), this message calls the church into a faith that refuses to fold when the scoreboard says it’s over. It opens with the idea of the comeback, the moment when everything looks finished, but someone decides, not today. That mindset becomes the doorway into a bigger truth: faith is not just believing God can. Faith is refusing to stop moving toward Him.

From Matthew 17, the message centers on a father who won’t quit. He brings his suffering son to Jesus even after the disciples fail to help. The takeaway is both honest and hopeful: disappointment is real, but it doesn’t get the final word. Jesus heals the boy and then reframes faith for the disciples. It’s not about hype or perfection. Faith has motion and faith has a voice. Even mustard-seed faith can speak to mountains.

Then the teaching breaks faith down into movements, not formulas: faith seeks, faith sees, and faith speaks. You start by seeking God, not guessing what you want. You learn to see the next step and the possibilities God is forming in you. But the focus is on the third move: faith speaks. Jesus didn’t say you would think about the mountain. He said you would speak to it.

The message also draws a clear line from faith to presumption, calling out the harm of speaking without seeking and declaring without direction. Real faith isn’t volume, it’s rooted in what God has actually said.

Finally, Joshua 10 becomes the proof. Joshua doesn’t retreat into caution, he prays and speaks boldly, and God brings the victory. The applicationlands hard: stop narrating your life with defeat, train your vocabulary in God’s promises, and talk back to lies until they stop sounding like truth. The mountain doesn’t move because your faith is big. It moves because God keeps His word.
