Questions to consider: 

·  How should Christians respond when the failures of other believers or churches create doubts? 

·  Have my expectations of how God should work ever distorted my understanding of what He is actually doing? 

·  What "mountains" seem impossible in my life right now?  Have I confused faith with confidence in a desired outcome, rather than trusting in Christ Himself?
