Matthew 13:53-58 - The Power Of Unbelief

Matthew

"The Power of Unbelief"
(Matthew 13:53-58)

In Matthew 13:53-58, Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth, and the people who knew him best are the ones who reject him most completely. Pastor Russell Howard examines what the hometown crowd's response reveals: that unbelief is not a matter of insufficient evidence, but of a heart unwilling to bow. The passage raises the stakes for everyone who has heard about Jesus without ever surrendering to him, and it presses believers to examine whether they are asking God for things, anticipating his care, and attributing good gifts to the One who gives them. James 1:17 says every good and perfect gift is from above. This sermon calls us to actually live that way.
