This week we'll be studying Mark 9:14-29 under the theme of "Dependent on God."  Last week, we mentioned the spiritually self-aware statement of a man who exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24) This week we look at his larger story, including the disciples' failure to drive out his son's demon, because they weren't dependent enough on God.  Self-sufficiency, a noble-sounding demonic lie, is the enemy of spiritual health.
