Certainly! Here are 15 thought-provoking and somewhat unconventional follow-up questions aimed at sparking deeper conversation and sometimes challenging the speaker: 1. If Jesus' authority allows believers to speak to mountains and move them, why do we still often find ourselves overwhelmed by life's challenges and unable to change our circumstances? 2. Is there a limit to the authority believers have in using faith, especially in speaking life into specific areas like finances or relationships? 3. If a believer speaks authoritatively to a challenge in their life and nothing changes, does it mean their faith was too small or misdirected? 4. Considering the story of the fig tree in Mark 11, how do we reconcile Jesus’ actions in causing destruction with His message of love and restoration? 5. If the size of our faith determines the outcome of our prayers, how do we measure or grow our faith adequately? 6. If new believers are discouraged by unmet expectations of moving their 'mountains,' how should we guide them through their initial disillusionment? 7. How do we determine which words or promises of Jesus apply directly to our personal struggles today versus those that were context-specific for His time? 8. If significant barriers (mountains in scripture) symbolize both personal and societal challenges, how should we engage in social justice as an exercise of faith? 9. Can overemphasis on vocal authority and projecting faith overshadow the quieter, more contemplative aspects of Christian living and spiritual growth? 10. If the power of words can bring about God's kingdom outcomes, can silence ever be a more powerful act of faith? 11. How do we responsibly wield spiritual confidence without falling into the trap of spiritual arrogance or presumption? 12. If belief is akin to an electric relationship with God, how do we handle the 'power outages' when we feel disconnected or our faith wanes? 13. Can the concept of speaking authoritatively over one's life lead to a prosperity gospel mentality, and if so, how do we guard against it? 14. Does the analogy of electricity imply that God's power is always readily available to believers, and if so, how do we account for seemingly unanswered prayers? 15. How does the call for repentance and restoration fit into the narrative of faith-based authority, especially when dealing with deeply rooted, systemic issues like substance abuse or marital infidelity?

Week 3 focuses on finding spiritual confidence and understanding Jesus' authority in Mark 11. Pastor Eric Dubach opens with his own story of learning to project his voice during a 5th-grade presentation. Even with strong content, the message falls flat without vocal authority. Jesus' communication in the Bible wasn't just about His powerful messages; it was how He spoke them, with undeniable authority. This is seen in Mark 11 when Jesus curses a fig tree and showcases His power over nature. The tree withered, proving His words alter reality. Pastor Eric relates this to our lives, urging us to trust Jesus' transformative words. Whether it is marriage, addiction, or finances, inviting Jesus to speak into these areas can bring profound change. Key principle: Have faith in God, just as the Roman centurion did in Matthew 8. Faith, as described by Jesus, involves recognizing God's authority over everything. When we speak with that faith, mountains—symbolizing life's challenges—can be moved. Spiritual confidence means using our faith for kingdom purposes, not just personal gains. Pastor Eric reminds us that belief allows God's power to flow, while active faith engages that power. He uses an electricity analogy: belief is the connection; faith is flipping the switch. Spiritual confidence is trusting God's power over our struggles. Take action by speaking God's truth with authority, consistently trusting Jesus, and seeking repentance to maintain spiritual confidence. Pastor Eric concludes, urging the congregation to invite Jesus' authority into their lives through heartfelt prayer.

## Sermon Discussion Guide ### Read Mark 11:20–26. Take some time to make observations and consider the significance of Jesus’ words and actions in this passage. ### Sermon Recap Review the sermon with your group, focusing on these highlight statements from Pastor Eric Dubach: 1. “Even with strong content, without projection, your message won’t reach or impact your audience.” 2. “Faith is not just believing in God’s power but also calling upon Jesus to speak changes into your life.” 3. “Anyone who believes and does not doubt can command a mountain to move, illustrating the power of faith.” 4. “Spiritual confidence comes from faith in the size and power of God, not from oneself.” 5. “Are you listening and recognizing God's authority and voice in your life?” ### Group Discussion 1. In Mark 11:20-21, Jesus curses the fig tree, and the disciples marvel at its withering. What does this incident teach about Jesus' authority and the power of His words? 2. Jesus responds to the disciples’ question by saying, "Have faith in God" (Mark 11:22). How does this statement reflect the core message of having faith in God’s authority? 3. The centurion's faith in Matthew 8:5-13 amazed Jesus. What can we learn from the centurion’s understanding of authority and faith when we face challenges in our lives? 4. How can we invite Jesus to speak changes into specific areas of our lives, such as marriage, addiction, or financial wisdom? 5. Reflect on the metaphor of moving mountains. What “mountains” in your life seem immovable, and how can you use faith in God’s authority to overcome them? ### Dig Deeper #### Faith in Action Compare Mark 11:20-26 with the story of the Roman centurion in Matthew 8:5-13. Reflect on these questions: 1. How does the centurion’s recognition of Jesus' authority lead to the healing of his servant? 2. In what ways can we demonstrate similar faith in Jesus’ authority over the “mountains” in our lives? 3. How can repentance restore our spiritual confidence, enabling us to act on God’s truth with authority? ### Prayer to Align with the Scripture **Heavenly Father,** We come before You in humility and awe of Your great authority and power. We thank You for Jesus, Your Son, who demonstrated His authority over all creation, and who invites us to have faith in that same power. Grant us the discernment and boldness to hear and recognize Your voice, to call upon Jesus to speak transformative changes into our lives. Lord, we face many “mountains” that seem insurmountable at times. Help us to remember that with faith in You, we can command these obstacles to move. Strengthen our spiritual confidence, not through our capabilities, but through the mighty power of Your Word. Forgive us for the sins that hinder Your authority from flowing freely in our lives. As we repent, restore us and fill us with the courage to act on Your truth. May we speak with the authority You have granted us through Jesus Christ, bringing Your kingdom outcomes to fruition in our marriages, our battles against addiction, our financial stewardship, and beyond. Thank You, Father, for Your unwavering goodness. We pray that our faith will grow, recognizing Jesus’ sovereignty and calling upon His name in all circumstances. Empower us to be living testimonies of Your Word’s power, resulting in Gospel-saturated communities centered on Jesus. In Jesus’ mighty and authoritative name, we pray. **Amen.**
