TRINITY WORSHIP NOTES

WHO IS JESUS?

”Helping My Unbelief”

October 21, 2007

“When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. [15] As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. [16] ‘What are you arguing with them about?’ he asked. [17] A man in the crowd answered, ‘Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. [18] Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.’ [19] ‘O unbelieving generation,’ Jesus replied, ‘how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.’ [20] So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. [21] Jesus asked the boy's father, ‘How long has he been like this?’ ‘From childhood,’ he answered. [22] ‘It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.’ [23]'If you can'?’ said Jesus. ‘Everything is possible for him who believes.’ [24] Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’”

Mark 9:14-29 (NIV)
