Limiting God (4 of 13)

Mark 6:1-6
Series -- FAITH: HOW TO GET IT AND GROW IT
We know that Jesus said, "According to your faith, so be it unto you." Jesus allows us to choose. We can choose the limits we put on faith. We can choose the limits we put on the promises of God.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Jo'-ses, and of Juda, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them. "A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house? And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching."
In Matthew's gospel, he makes it very clear. Matthew 13:58 says, "And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief." What he's saying is that the people of Nazareth tied the hands of omnipotence. The people of Nazareth actual ...
