In week two of his sermon series, Pastor Daniel Strosnider delivers a penetrating message from Matthew 13:54-58 — the account of Jesus returning to Nazareth only to be rejected by those in His hometown — to identify three stumbling blocks that keep believers from experiencing everything God wants to do in their lives: the stumbling block of familiarity, the stumbling block of the past, and the stumbling block of unbelief. With razor-sharp clarity, Pastor Daniel warns the church that the enemy's greatest tactic isn't convincing you to stop believing — it's convincing you to stop expecting — and that familiarity with Jesus' name without remaining amazed by His presence is one of the most dangerous places a believer can drift. Pastor Daniel also declares that grace specializes in rewriting stories and that God uses people best when they are first broken — calling every person in the room to stop being familiar and start being available. The sermon closes with a communion call and one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture: "Lord, I believe — but help my unbelief."
