Feeble Faith, Strong Savior

June 22, 2014 ()

Bible Text: Mark 9:14-29 |

Series:

Prayer is an expression of faith in a strong Savior. As our faith in Jesus Christ grows, the product is powerful prayer.
Lack of faith results in lack of prayer which leads to lack of power. In this text, Jesus highlights the faithlessness of his disciples and directs their focus back to himself as the object of faith. Jesus also shows the power of God to redeem the captive that is available to his followers through prayer.



Mark

The gospel of Mark tells us of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Under the inspiration of the Spirit, Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God and the suffering Servant sent to save his people. Mark stresses the authority of Jesus, his great sacrifice, and what it means to be his disciple. This book was given to make and encourage disciples of Jesus, and this sermon series seeks to do the same by proclaiming Mark's message for today's generation.
