In this sermon, I take a look at being faithful and carrying on midst our struggles and challenges of life. In our lectionary text from Luke 17, The disciples cry out to Jesus, "increase our faith!" Jesus responds by encouraging them to live in the faith that God has already given them using a reference to the image of the mustard seed. Be, live, honor, celebrate, and claim the faith God has already given. They are then invited to 'carry on' and live lives of service.
