How Will You Walk? By Sight or By Faith?
Mark 9:14-29
We have reached a pivotal point in the gospel of Mark. The disciples have been used to walking by sight. Jesus has been right there: teaching them, encouraging them, rebuking them, performing miracles right in front of them. But, now Jesus is heading to Jerusalem and his impending death, resurrection, and ascension. Soon the King will be gone, and he must prepare his disciples to walk in powerful faith as they will lead the expansion of the kingdom through the birth of the church.
Jesus Encounters the Impotence of Walking by Sight [9:14-18]
When we walk by sight, we are often just trusting in ourselves
When we walk by sight, we are often argumentative and defensive
When we walk by sight, our faith is insufficient in spiritual battle

Jesus Teaches About the Power of Walking by Faith [9:19-29]
When we walk by faith, we will bring to Jesus what is most precious to us When we walk by faith, we will see the compassion of Jesus
When we walk by faith, we will not have perfect faith
When we walk by faith, we will be people of prayer
