All things are possible - Mark 9:14-29

In our passage this evening in Mark 9, Jesus’ disciples are unable to cast a demon out of a boy. They are overwhelmed by the present darkness, by the effects of the curse, and because of this, they lose sight of Christ and what he’s come to do. Their hope and faith in him gives way to doubt and unbelief.

The truth that we’re going to see in this passage tonight, is that there is actually no reason to lose hope, even in the midst of the darkness. Why? We will see that Jesus is God’s promised Messiah, the seed of the woman, which God promised to send right from the beginning, in Genesis 3:15, who has come to crush the head of the serpent, and reverse the curse. Death, sickness and sin will not have the last say. In the end, Jesus will triumph. And in this passage, we get a little glimpse precisely of that triumph that is to come in Christ.

Because Jesus has come to crush Satan and his works, we can have true hope, so trust in him!
