The disciples had seen God move before—but this time, what worked in the past didn’t work again. It’s a powerful reminder that when it comes to faith, past success doesn’t guarantee future success.

What does genuine faith looks like in the ups and downs of life and how can we keep trusting Jesus consistently?

Instead, the Christian vision of sexuality as covenantal, fruitful, and sacred offers a life-giving alternative.
