This sermon addresses the narrative in Mark 9 where Jesus' disciples fail to heal a demon-possessed boy, exposing their reliance on self-will rather than God. By contrasting the disciples' pride with a desperate father's honest struggle with doubt, the preacher emphasizes that even a 'wimpy' faith, when placed in the power of Jesus through prayer, is sufficient for God to work.
In this sermon, Pastor John Lee unpacks the story of Jesus walking on water from Mark 6, demonstrating how it represents far more than a simple miracle. By walking on the sea, Jesus reveals His identity as the great 'I Am' and shows His ultimate authority over death and chaos. Believers are called to trust in Him, prioritizing prayer and casting out fear because He has conquered death once and for all.
Preaching from Mark 2:1-12, Pastor John Liam explores Jesus's healing of the paralytic and His authority to forgive sins.

Ultimately, Jesus demonstrates His divine authority by physically healing the man, prompting a response of worship and showing that He has the power to solve our deepest spiritual need of forgiveness.
