If you have had situations in your life that you have overcome through faith in God's word before for similar situations (finances, heath, etc.), but now what you are facing seems to be beating you, make sure you tune in to the service today. We will be looking at the disciples who had this very thing happen to them, and Jesus taught them how to overcome it.

Also, when Jesus says “O faithless generation” who is He speaking to? If the disciples, they were speaking to this situation to change it, and those who brought the boy came with some kind of expectation for a miracle, so who is faithless?

Can our sin be the cause of an affliction we can't seem to get freed from? That's a question Jesus answers in John 9. Many people, just like in Jesus' day, saw sickness, affliction, and such trouble as being caused by sin, and the disciples asked Jesus about this with the man born blind. Jesus gives a clear answer for the question, and we also see the tremendous growth and change in a man who went from not knowing much about Jesus, to becoming timid and afraid to stand up for him but finishing with boldness in the face of adversity and a great receiver of the truth Jesus spoke.

Why did the blind man of Bethsaida need Jesus to lay His hands on his blind eyes twice before he could see clearly? No other time did Jesus lay hands upon or touch a person needing healing more than once. There must be a reason, right? In this service we look at this healing encounter to understand what we are to learn as it is told to us in Mark 8:22-26.

There is a difference between begging for something from God and receiving it through faith, and this healing encounter Jesus has with the Deaf man from Decapolis helps us to see the difference in our own lives. Our flesh doesn’t receive on faith principles, but by presumptions of its own devising resorts to things like begging. The compulsion to beg arises when we leave word-based hope for another kind of hope, putting faith in something other than God’s word.

The ingredients of great faith can be found in this healing encounter. The woman is unacknowledged in her request but is not deterred. Great faith is faith that endures and continues.
