Desperate Dad

Is your faith small in quantity or weak in quality? This week, Pastor Campbell takes us through Mark 9, where we witness an unforgettable encounter between Jesus and a desperate father seeking deliverance for his son. The father asks Jesus if He can do anything to save his son, and Jesus, rebuking the man's tentativeness, responds, "All things are possible for the one who believes." In that moment, the father models for us a heart posture we should constantly find ourselves in. He says, "I do believe; help my unbelief." We live in a world that tells us we need to be polished, confident, and spiritually perfect before we can come to Jesus. But in Mark 9, this father shows us a better way. We're called to come desperate, honest, full of worship, and anchored in trust, because Jesus doesn't respond to flawless faith. He responds to genuine faith. Too often, we believe we have to strive more and clean ourselves up before God will move. But Pastor Campbell reminds us that real faith isn't rooted in effort. It's rooted in an authentic relationship with the Father. A faith small in quantity, like a mustard seed, but not weak in quality, can move mountains. This week, be encouraged. There is no shame in crying out to God in uncertainty. You don't have to be a superhero of faith for God to meet you. You just have to be faithful, and that's possible for all of us.
