INTRO
From the mountain top to real life
We dare not stay on the glorious mountain top when there are battles to fight in the valley – Warren Wiersbe
We must keep the faith as we live the life!
A divine encounter that teaches us about faith.
The Father and His Son
The father’s concern
Loving father
Desperate. Only son. Needed help from outside his control.
The Son’s need
Physical
Spiritual
Under the rule of Satan
Spiritually dead
The Disciples
Faithless and twisted
Faith
Belief and Trust
Saving Faith – Ephesians 2:8-9
Sanctifying Faith – Galatians 2:20
Twisted
Distort, Pervert
Faithless… twisted life of trust
Luke 9:1 – And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, (ESV)
The Savior
Rebuked the unclean spirit
Reminded him who He was
Showed His authority
Restored the son
Healed
Gave back to father
Reminded the disciples
No faith without the cross
Suffering servant
Provides the disciples with the means to live out the disciple life
Sins forgiven
Clothed with His righteousness
The What Now
Jesus sends us out to do ministry in a fallen world
Keep the faith and stay on track (keep following Jesus)
We have the authority and power to live faithfully
Jesus is the answer to the evils of the world
