In Matthew 13:53–58, Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth, where the people know His family, His background, and His past—but their familiarity leads to unbelief and offense. This sermon explores how pride, familiarity, and distorted ideas about faith can keep us from truly hearing and obeying God. True faith isn't about positive thinking, formulas, or trying to force God to do what we want. Faith listens to God, responds with obedience, and ultimately says, "Not my will, but yours, be done." Discover how reverence, submission, Scripture, wise counsel, and the leading of the Holy Spirit help us move from unbelief to genuine faith.
