28-Mark: Help My Unbelief: When Faith Feels Small | Mark 9:14–29 Sermon

When Jesus comes down from the mountain of transfiguration, He walks into a scene of chaos—a desperate father, a demon-tormented boy, arguing scribes, and defeated disciples. In this sermon from Mark 9:14–29, we unpack the clash between human weakness and divine power, where Jesus teaches that faith, even when small and struggling, is the key to victory—and that some spiritual battles require deeper dependence through prayer and fasting.

💬 Jesus said, “All things are possible to him who believes.” But what happens when you cry out like the father in this passage: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief”?

In this message, we’ll explore:

Why the disciples failed to cast out the demon

The difference between natural illness and spiritual oppression

The power of Jesus' name—and why it only works for those who know Him

How prayer and fasting focus our attention on God and grow our faith

Why belief matters more than performance in spiritual warfare
