What Faith Can Do | Maggie Dillard

Ever wondered if your faith actually matters? If trusting God really makes a difference in the mess and chaos of real life? You're not alone in asking these questions, and honestly, they're the right questions to ask!

In this powerful message, Maggie dives deep into something we all struggle with: whether our faith is just a one-sided relationship or if God actually shows up when we choose to trust Him. She opens up about those friendships we've all had—you know the ones where you're always giving but never receiving anything back. It's exhausting, right? But here's the thing: faith isn't like that!

Maggie shares three incredible stories from Scripture that show exactly what faith can do—not just the pretty, Sunday school version, but the raw, real-life kind of faith that changes everything. First, there's the woman who crashed a dinner party to pour expensive perfume on Jesus' feet. This wasn't just a nice gesture; this perfume was worth a year's wages. Talk about going all in. But Jesus didn't care about her past or what the religious people thought—her faith saved her.

Then there's the desperate mother who wouldn't take no for an answer when Jesus seemed to ignore her pleas for her demon-possessed daughter. She argued with Jesus (yes, you read that right), and her relentless faith resulted in her daughter's instant healing. Sometimes our faith needs to fight for the people we love.

But maybe the most encouraging story is Abraham's. Here's a guy who laughed at God's promise, tried to help God out by doing things his own way, and basically messed up repeatedly. Yet God used his imperfect faith to impact generations—literally becoming the lineage through which Jesus would come. If that doesn't give you hope about your own messy faith journey, I don't know what will.

Maggie gets vulnerable about her own story too. She shares how years ago, someone prophesied over her about how God would use her pain to help others, and she literally laughed it off. Sound familiar? Sometimes the very things we think are impossible are exactly what God wants to do in our lives. Seven years later, she's watching those "impossible" words come true in ways she never imagined.

The truth is, faith isn't about having it all figured out. It's not about being perfect or having unwavering confidence 24/7.

What makes this message so compelling is that it's not just about what we bring to God—it's about what He brings to us. Unlike those disappointing friendships where people aren't who we thought they'd be, God is actually better than we can imagine. He's faithful to His promises, and more importantly, He's faithful to us!

Whether you're in a spiritual slump, facing the biggest mountain you've ever climbed, or just trying to figure out if this whole faith thing is worth it, Maggie reminds us that it doesn't take much—just mustard seed faith is enough. There are miracles on the horizon, chains waiting to be broken, and freedom to walk in.

This isn't just another feel-good message about faith. It's a real, honest look at what happens when ordinary people choose to trust an extraordinary God. If you've ever wondered whether your faith really matters or if God actually shows up, this message is for you.

Watch now and discover what your faith can do—for yourself, for others, and for generations to come!
