What if faith isn’t about having all the answers? What if we don't need proof to know that God is present?

In this powerful Pentecost sermon, Pastor Nate reflects on a childhood game of driveway basketball and a “Prove It” rule that resonates far beyond the court. From high school insecurities to the deep human desire for certainty, this message explores the tension between proof and trust — and how the Gospel invites us to release control and live by faith.

Drawing on John 14 and the story of Philip's request to "show us the Father," this sermon reminds us that God doesn’t demand we prove ourselves. Instead, through the cross and resurrection, Jesus proves once and for all that God is with us — especially in places of pain, doubt, and struggle. Pentecost isn’t about certainty. It’s about courage, compassion, and trust in the Spirit who meets us exactly where we are.
