Faith is a force that defies the impossible. It’s the spark that ignites hope when the world feels heavy, the anchor that holds us steady through life’s fiercest storms. At New Life Christian Fellowship Center in Killeen, Texas, we believe that your faith—rooted in God’s promises—has the power to shift the unmovable and transform the unbearable. Jesus Himself declared in Matthew 17:20,
“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
This isn’t just a poetic sentiment; it’s a divine truth that invites us to live boldly, trusting in the One who holds all things together.
Mountains come in many forms. For some, it’s a financial burden that looms like an unclimbable peak. For others, it’s a fractured relationship, a health crisis, or a dream that feels buried under layers of doubt. Whatever your mountain, the good news is this: God doesn’t call you to scale it alone. He equips you with faith—a gift that, though it may start small, carries explosive potential when placed in His hands.
The Mustard Seed Principle
Consider the mustard seed for a moment. Tiny, unassuming, easily overlooked—yet within it lies the power to grow into a flourishing tree. Jesus used this humble seed to illustrate faith’s potential not because of its size, but because of its capacity to expand beyond what the eye can see. At New Life Christian Fellowship Center, we’ve witnessed this principle at work in our Killeen community—people stepping out in trust, praying audacious prayers, and watching God move in ways they never imagined.
Take the story of David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17. David didn’t approach the giant with a towering army or an arsenal of weapons. He came with a sling, a stone, and an unshakable belief in God’s deliverance. His faith wasn’t in his own strength but in the Lord who had never failed him. That same God stands ready to meet you at the foot of your mountain, turning your mustard-seed faith into a mountain-moving miracle.
Faith That Speaks
Faith isn’t passive; it’s a declaration. When Jesus spoke of moving mountains, He didn’t suggest we sit quietly and wait for them to crumble. He said to say to the mountain, “Move.” There’s power in your words when they’re fueled by belief. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us,
“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
What are you speaking over your circumstances? Are you giving voice to fear, or are you proclaiming God’s promises?
At our church in Killeen, we encourage you to speak life—to call forth what God has already placed within you. Maybe your mountain is a dream that feels too big. Speak to it: “In the name of Jesus, I will walk in the purpose God has for me.” Perhaps it’s a struggle that’s worn you down. Declare,
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me”
(Psalm 28:7). When you align your words with scripture, you’re not just wishing—you’re wielding the authority God has given you.
Standing Firm When the Ground Shakes
Mountains don’t always move overnight. Sometimes, faith requires us to stand firm while the earth beneath us trembles. The Apostle Paul knew this well. In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, he writes of God’s response to his own mountain—a “thorn in the flesh” he begged to be removed:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Paul didn’t get the instant fix he wanted, but he received something greater: the strength to endure and the revelation that God’s power shines brightest in our frailty.
Here in Killeen, we’ve seen families face towering challenges—job loss, illness, grief—and yet stand tall because they leaned on God’s grace. Faith doesn’t always mean the mountain disappears; sometimes it means God gives you the courage to climb it, step by step, with Him at your side. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as
“confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
Even when the peak is shrouded in fog, trust that God sees the path ahead.
A Community of Mountain-Movers
One of the beautiful truths about faith is that it grows stronger in fellowship. At New Life Christian Fellowship Center, we’re a family united by the belief that no mountain is too big for our God. When you join us—whether in worship, prayer, or service—you step into a community that lifts each other up. Galatians 6:2 urges us,
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Your faith might move your mountain, but together, we can shake the whole range.
Think of the walls of Jericho (Joshua 6). One man’s faith couldn’t have toppled those fortifications. It took a collective act of obedience—marching, shouting, trusting God’s promise—that brought the impossible crashing down. When you’re surrounded by others who believe with you, your faith finds new wings. That’s why we invite you to connect with us in Killeen, to pray with us, and to see what God can do when His people stand as one.
Practical Steps to Move Your Mountain
So how do you begin? First, anchor yourself in God’s Word. Scripture is the bedrock of faith. Meditate on verses like Mark 11:23-24, where Jesus says,
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
Let these promises shape your perspective.
Next, pray with expectancy. Too often, we approach God timidly, unsure if He’ll answer. But James 1:6-7 warns against doubting:
“The one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.”
Come to Him boldly, knowing He delights in your trust.
Finally, act in faith. Mountains don’t move while we stand still. If you’re praying for provision, take steps toward stewardship. If it’s healing, seek wisdom alongside prayer. Faith and action walk hand in hand. As James 2:17 says,
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
God often moves when we do.
The God Who Moves the Unmovable
Ultimately, the power to move mountains doesn’t rest in us—it rests in the One who created them. Psalm 121:1-2 declares,
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
Your faith is the key that unlocks His might. It’s not about how strong you feel, but how faithful He is.
At New Life Christian Fellowship Center, we’ve seen mountains of addiction broken, marriages restored, and hearts mended—all because people dared to believe. Whatever stands before you today, know this: your faith, even if it’s as small as a mustard seed, is enough. Speak to your mountain. Stand with your community. Trust in your God. And watch as the impossible bows to the power of His name.
Join us in Killeen, Texas, as we pursue a life of faith together. Your mountain doesn’t have to define you—it can become a testimony of what God can do through you. Let’s move it together, one prayer, one step, one unshakable belief at a time.
