Faced With the Impossible (Mark 9:14-29)

I remember being so inspired when I first watched the Christian movie a few years ago entitled, Facing the Giants. It was produced by two brothers, Alex and Stephen Kendrick. In the film a head football coach was faced with a six-year losing record with his team. He discovers a group within the local school board secretly planning to fire him. He faced his failures as a coach with surrender to the Lord and was willing to trust Him for the outcome whatever it would be. Mark 9:22-24 portrays a father who was faced with an impossible situation with his son that he could not resolve. So, he turns to the Lord’s disciples for help. Unfortunately, they also were unable to make a difference with this discouraged dad. Where can he turn? Mark 9:14-29 gives the whole story with an uplifting ending for every father who is facing something in his life this Father’s Day that is beyond his ability to fix. Let’s listen in to what happened in this father’s life and consider what can happen in your life. Reality of the Impossible, 9:17-18 Responses to the Impossible, 9:14-24 Reasons for the Impossible, 9:14-20 Resolution of the Impossible, 9:19-27 Resources for the Impossible, 9:19, 23, 25, 29 In closing, let me making a suggestion to you for the end of the summer and the beginning of the school year. Dad, please consider taking your family to see the latest Kendrick brothers film entitled, The Forge. It is set to be released August 23, 2024. The theme this time is mentoring. May it light a fire in your heart to mentor your children.
