This center section of Matthew (and chapter 14) could rightly start at the tail end of chapter 13, verse 53; and that is where we begin this new series. One of the most damning sentences in Scripture is as follows: “And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.” How does that apply to our own faith-level? This was Jesus’ hometown; where they had a certain expectation of who He was, or who He was NOT. What about our expectations? How much of that feeds into our little faith? Elsewhere He feeds five thousand with a kid’s lunch!
