Big Idea:
Unstoppable Faith is demonstrated by a relentless and desperate pursuit of Jesus.
Scripture memory:
Hebrews 11:6 (ESV)
6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Action Step:
Read the gospel of Mark this week and take notice of Jesus’ interaction and the faith-response of people around him. Take your tassel and put it somewhere where it can remind you of Unstoppable Faith.
Thoughts:
I love this series “Unstoppable”! We have been challenged with “Unstoppable Courage”, “Unstoppable Generosity” and yesterday “Unstoppable Faith”.
We learned yesterday that Unstoppable Faith is demonstrated by a relentless pursuit of Jesus! It results in:
- Spiritual Healing.
- Physical Healing and perspective.
- A life that stands out in the crowd.
- God’s response to faith.
The woman with the issue of blood can teach us a lot about ourselves. We all have had (or have) desperate and hopeless circumstances. God uses desperation to draw us to himself. We have been financially hopeless, relationally hopeless and physically hopeless. Jesus uses our hopelessness and desperation to move us to a place of complete dependence on Him and Him alone. God wants us to respond with Unstoppable Faith! He promises to never leave us nor forsake us!
Imagine what our church would look like if we collectively were pursuing Jesus with a relentless Unstoppable Faith! Imagine the impact we would have, the people we would reach and the growth our church would experience!
Upcoming Important Dates:
