Who can heal our so little faith? Jesus! Who can make the blind man see? Jesus! Who can set the captives free? Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! My mother taught years ago, if I was in trouble, scared or just needed help, to call on the name of Jesus. There is power in that name and just by uttering the words, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,” I was calling for help. It is a prayer in itself. I have used it countless times, from standing in front a […]

Today, we are diving into our story of “so little faith” from last week. If you remember, the father brings the demon possessed boy to Jesus’ disciples to be healed. They cannot do it. So Jesus takes over, teaching them all about the power of God and strengthening their faith in the process. You may want to reread the story from Mark 9:14-29. Today, as we look at a few key passages, we find four completely different faiths. As you follow along, ask yourself some […]
Do ever feel like you have so little faith? I do. As big as I think my faith is, unbelief is sitting right there with it. Almost mocking it. But today, Jesus wants to give us two miracles. One for us and one for our faith. Be encouraged because as disciples of Jesus Christ, He is still teaching us. Last week, as we looked at the miracle of Jesus healing the two blind men, we learned that even if our faith is as small as […]
Once, I was blind. Not completely, but since about the sixth grade I have had trouble seeing. It was not until the eye doctor corrected my vision, did I understand how blind I really was. There are areas in our own lives where we are blind as well. Today, we are going to find out what it takes for Jesus to give us our sight back. Last week, we saw Jesus calm the storms of our lives, and I realized in that turmoil, we cannot […]
Have you ever needed help? Maybe you are experiencing one of those storms of life we talked about last week. Whatever your circumstance, when you hear the words, “Help is on the way,” you know everything is going to be okay. But there is a miracle in that help and we don’t have to wait on it. Years ago, while my husband was at work, my lower back went out. I remember laying in the bed, unable to physically move. As I yelled out in […]
Let’s talk about storms. Not just those terrifying thunder-boomers that sneak up on a hot summer afternoon, but those proverbial storms of life. We all experience them. However, how we deal with them makes all the difference. Often, in the middle of a lightning storm, I will find my husband on the front porch, mesmerized as it blows in. He loves storms. I, on the other hand, will hunker down, praying it passes quickly. We all handle the storms of life differently, but we must […]
