The story of Blind Bartimaeus crying out to Jesus is well known among believers. Yet each time we revisit it, we are reminded of a timeless truth — Jesus hears our cry. In this message, we reflect on Bartimaeus's persistent faith and rejoice in the compassion of Christ, who still stops to listen when we call on His name.
TOPIC How to Provoke Miracles 2 [Things That Deny People of Their Miracles] PREACHER Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Mark 6 Mark 5:1–43 Proverbs 4:5 Romans 10:17 Luke 1:45 2 Corinthians 4:13 John 16:24 John 3:1–2 Luke 8:39 Acts 10:38 2 Chronicles 20:20 KEY POINTS 1. Understanding Miracles Miracles are real and represent the manifestation of God's power at work in human affairs. They are the outcome of the working of God's Word, suspending or overriding natural and man-made laws. Miracles demonstrate that God's power is superior to every limitation of nature or circumstance. 2. The Power of Teaching Teaching brings insight, understanding, instruction, and direction — all of which create an atmosphere for miracles. When faith is built through the Word, the supernatural becomes natural. 3. Why Miracles Are Needed To restore creation to its original order. To destroy the works of the devil and set people free. To bring joy and hope to many. To cause others to believe in God. To bring glory to God, revealing His love and presence among men. 4. How to Provoke Miracles By hearing God's Word — faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). By declaring God's Word — your confession activates divine power. By taking action in faith — obedience releases results. By believing in the man of God — connecting to the anointing upon God's servant brings manifestation (2 Chronicles 20:20). 5. Things That Deny People of Their Miracles Lack of faith — without faith, it is impossible to receive. Lack of knowledge — ignorance blocks access to the supernatural. Lack of application of faith — hearing alone is not enough; faith must be acted upon. Lack of aggression — spiritual passivity causes people to miss divine moments. Lack of consistency — many stop believing too soon. Being overly sensual or emotional — focusing on feelings instead of the Word. Failure to press through — miracles require persistence and determination. Examples: The woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd until she touched Jesus' garment and was healed. Blind Bartimaeus refused to be silenced and received his sight. “You must train yourself that whenever you enter an atmosphere of miracles, if there's only one miracle, it must be yours.” “There is help for everybody — but not everyone will access it.” Therefore, take your miracle by faith and by force. CONCLUSION Miracles are a vital part of the Christian life — a demonstration of God's power, love, and faithfulness. Every believer can provoke a miracle through faith, action, and persistence. Do not allow doubt, fear, or inconsistency to rob you of what God has already made available. Like the woman with the issue of blood and Blind Bartimaeus, press through and take your miracle!

In this powerful session from the TSNL Conference, Apostle David Lah delivers a faith-stirring message titled “Don't Limit Your God.” With stories of persecution, miraculous provision, and the expansion of churches across the world, he challenges believers to hear God's voice daily, think beyond limitation, and dare to believe for the impossible. Through the story of Blind Bartimaeus, Apostle Lah reveals how faith can stop Jesus, unlock miracles, and turn vision into manifestation. This message will ignite boldness, remove fear, and reignite your confidence in the limitless God you serve.
This Sunday, we'll explore Mark 10:32-45 as Jesus once again reveals what it truly means to follow Him. From the end of chapter 8 through chapter 10, Jesus has clearly taught His disciples about the cost of discipleship: denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and living sacrificially in every aspect of life—from marriage and family to wealth and relationships. He also repeatedly predicted His own suffering, death, and resurrection, setting an example of the path we're called to follow. As Jesus leads the disciples toward Jerusalem, for the third time in three chapters, He clearly explains His mission as the Son of Man. He will be betrayed by Jewish leaders and handed over to Gentiles to be humiliated, mocked, spat on, and executed. Then, He will rise from the grave. And for the third time, the disciples ignore His words. As we have seen before, they are self-seeking and focused on their own greatness. After Jesus predicts His suffering, James and John boldly ask for seats of honor at Jesus' right and left in His glory. Their request reveals a self-centered desire for status, ignoring Jesus' repeated teaching that the cross must come before the crown. The disciples not only misunderstand Jesus' mission but also think too highly of themselves. Jesus asks, "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"—referring to His cup of judgment and immersion in suffering (Mark 14:36; Luke 12:50). They confidently say they can, not recognizing their own sin and weakness. Jesus then overturns worldly ideas of greatness and once again shows us that true greatness in God's kingdom is about becoming a servant, even a "slave to all." On Sunday, we will explore what it means to deny oneself and embrace servanthood. Servanthood isn't just a weekly event; it's a lifestyle of asking, "Who has Christ placed in my life to serve?" Finally, Jesus provides our motivation for denying ourselves and becoming servants: "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (v. 45). Echoing Isaiah 53, Jesus—the glorious Messiah who deserves all service—humbled Himself to serve by redeeming us from sin's slavery. Jesus calls us to take up the cross because ("For") the Son of Man Himself came to serve. His coming is our motivation and power to deny ourselves and give our lives away. How we respond to Jesus' question to James and John (the same question he later asks Blind Bartimaeus) shows where our heart and treasures truly are. How would you answer when Jesus asks, "What do you want me to do for you?" (v. 36). I. The Gospel Mission Of Messiah (v. 32-34) II. The Pride That Hinders Our Mission (v. 35-41) III. The Sacrificial Call To Servanthood (v. 42-44) IV. The Proper Motivation Of Our Service (V. 45)

Who is this Jesus who stops for the cry of one overlooked man and turns it into a testimony of faith? In Mark 10:46–52, Blind Bartimaeus sees what others miss—Jesus as the merciful Son of David—and his desperate plea becomes a life-changing encounter. This week, Pastor Korey shows us that real faith doesn't just ask for mercy; it leaves the old life behind and follows the Savior on the road.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to stretch our faith beyond our comfort zones, emphasizing that true growth and supernatural provision occur only when we are willing to expand our spiritual, relational, and personal capacities. He reminds us that with God, nothing is impossible, and challenges us to shed old limitations—like fear, complacency, or past identities—just as Blind Bartimaeus cast off his garment before receiving his miracle. Pastor Jack urges us to embrace the pressure that comes with growth, strengthen our spiritual stakes, and step boldly into the extraordinary plans God has for us, knowing that in Christ, there are no limits to what He can do in and through our lives.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

Led to the savior- Blind Bartimaeus would not miss the opportunity to cry out for healing when he heard Jesus was passing by. Some people are too proud to cry out to Jesus and admit their need for forgiveness from sin.
Pastor John teaches from Mark 10:46-52. Looking to Blind Bartimaeus, Pastor asks the question of how does our faith work when our life is upside down? By faith, quit what is not working and take steps - continuous steps - in faith. Throw off your cloak and don't give up.

Mark 10:46-52 (NKJV) 46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” 50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. 51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, [a]“Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has [b]made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
Pastor Steven Nicoletti preaches on the story of Blind Bartimaeus and Jesus’ call to listen to the testimonies of others and then to follow him on the way.
Today is a testimony/teaching style episode. Let's study together the powerful healing story of Blind Bartimaeus found in Mark 10. I also share what he and I had in common in receiving healing from Jesus.I share today:Why corresponding action to show your faith is importantWhat Jesus purchased for you on the cross on top of forgiveness of sins (it's a lot!)A scripture that tells us God's will for all being healed doesn't just automatically happen Why you need to know what belongs to you as a child of God, so Satan doesn't steal it from you.

Healing Have you ever felt stuck in your pain, wondering if healing is even possible? In this sermon, we explore how Jesus repeatedly asked people, "Do you want to be healed?"—not because He didn't know the answer, but because healing requires a response. From the man at the Pool of Bethesda to Blind Bartimaeus, Jesus never assumed someone wanted freedom—He called them to step into it. So why do so many of us stay trapped in frustration, offense, and resentment? Could it be that we've built expectations that reality can't fulfill? Today, we unpack the formula for frustration, how the enemy uses offense as a weapon, and why responding differently is the key to breakthrough. Healing is available—but do you really want it? Let's talk about it. Luke 23:34 Discussion topics Have you ever experienced a time when you knew you needed healing (physical, emotional, or spiritual) but struggled to ask for it? What held you back? How can we recognize when our brokenness is keeping us from stepping into healing? Read Psalm 34:18—What does it mean for God to be near to the brokenhearted? How have you experienced His closeness in difficult seasons? Jesus calls us to Recognize it, Receive it, and Rise above it. What is one area in your life where you need to respond differently this week? What's a situation where you need to replace obstacle with opportunity, hindrance with healing, or defense with deliverance? How can this group support you in walking that out? Read Proverbs 18:19—How does offense build walls in our relationships? Have you ever struggled with holding onto offense? Have you and your group signed up to help serve at the Easter Egg Hunt? If not, please take time to open the app and sign up to serve to help build bridges to God in an easy and practical way.
