https://thegfc.org/sermons/Mark%20Audio%20Sermons/1398Mark11.20-25.mp3 In Mark 11, Jesus makes some big claims regarding faith and prayer; claims such as, “Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.” Listen to today’s moving message by Pastor Holladay to discover more about this statement!
