The Unbelief of the PeopleJohn 12:36-43Elijah saw Christ many years before he ever came, but some of the people could not even see Christ nor his works, and they were standing right in front of him. Blindness of eyes and hardness of heart. The prophet said, “Let us not read the scriptures with blindness, no hardness of heart, but let us search diligently and see Jesus.”''But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him''

Part 37 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 12:37-50
In this teaching, Pastor Shola Okodugha explores how faith serves as the bridge between what you see in the spirit and what you experience in the natural (Hebrews 11:1). He teaches that hope is born through vision, and vision is birthed in the place of prayer. But it doesn't stop there - hope transforms into faith when action is involved.Additionally, faith is a process that cannot be skipped.It's not just confidence in God, but complete trust, obedience, and conviction grounded in His Word (Romans 12:3).Components of Faith:-Believe what God has said-Speak it boldly-Act on it without hesitationAlso, he indicated that Prophecies don't fulfill themselves. You must mix them with faith.(Hebrews 3:15 -19, Joshua 1:1 - 5)To truly believe means to be convinced, and that conviction comes from: -Immersing yourself in God's Word-Hearing faith-building testimonies-Choosing obedience over assumption (Titus 1:16 TPT)ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious. Led by Pst. Shola Okodugha, we are on a divine assignment to equip and raise men; to release people from strongholds that have stifled them from taking their rightful places, and to give young people an avenue for their God-given gifts to find expression.——OUR CREED"As sure as God helps us,We will not give upWe will not cave inWe will not quitWe will not failWe will not dieUntil our job is doneAnd victory is won"——Partner with us to spread the influence of God all over the world.

Don't Stop Believing: A Reflection on Hebrews 12 A Sermon by Pastor Richard Sfameni, Lead Pastor at Victory Church in Providence, RI. The Power and Blessing of God's Word The Word of God stands as a timeless, life-changing force. It is not just information, but revelation—a source of power and blessing. For the believer, Scripture isn't just a traditional book; it is the living, inspired guide that shapes faith and anchors hope. The Christian Race: Endurance Over Speed Using the imagery from Hebrews 12, believers are reminded that following Jesus is not a sprint but a marathon. Life in Christ requires perseverance and a willingness to continue through battles, spiritual attacks, and moments of doubt. The encouragement is plain: Don't stop believing. “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...” Faith as a Marathon The Christian journey is long and demanding, requiring perseverance, not a short burst of effort. Life brings seasons of spiritual honeymoon and also testing, but through faith, every hardship can be overcome. The Examples of Faith: A “Cloud of Witnesses” Hebrews 12 begins with a reminder that we are “surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,” referring to the faith heroes listed in Hebrews 11. These individuals—Abraham, Moses, Samson, Gideon, and others—demonstrated faith amidst suffering, deprivation, and daunting obstacles. Their stories assure us: If they made it, we can too. Their testimonies cheer us on, encouraging us to keep running and believing despite all circumstances. Believers today have more resources—the full Bible, stories, and testimonies—than those early heroes did, yet the call is the same: keep the faith. Laying Aside Every Weight The Hindrances to Running the Race The passage urges us to “lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles.” Like a runner shedding unnecessary gear, believers must let go of anything holding them back from wholeheartedly following Christ. Practical Weights to Lay Aside: Weight Description Laziness Neglecting spiritual discipline or commitments Lack of Commitment Merely being involved rather than truly devoted Distractions Allowing social media or worldly interests to replace time with God's Word Unforgiveness Holding onto grudges, which hinders spiritual progress Critical Spirit Being harshly judgmental towards others within the faith community Bitterness Allowing wounds to fester into deep resentment These are not just bad habits, but actual spiritual weights that slow our progress and can keep us from finishing strong. The passage highlights personal responsibility: We must choose to lay these aside. The Sin That So Easily Entangles: Unbelief The passage distinguishes between “weights” (various hindrances) and “the sin”—which, in context, is unbelief. Unbelief is not a minor issue to God; it reflects a lack of trust in His promises and a turning away from His truth. The greatest obstacle to enduring faith is not hardship, but losing faith in the faithfulness of God. “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.” (Hebrews 3) Enduring with Encouragement Like athletes, we don't compete against each other, but run our own race, in our own lane. The victory is not comparison, but completion. The faithful who went before us testify: hardships can be overcome, faith can triumph, and God remains true. Grace to Overcome Lay aside every weight: Make choices that honor God over comfort or distraction. Persevere through unbelief: Trust in God's Word and His purposes, even when you cannot see the end. Closing Encouragement Let these truths settle in your heart: You are not running alone. The “crowd of witnesses” testifies to God's faithfulness through all generations. It's too soon to quit. Don't let weights or unbelief keep you from the victory promised to all who finish. The prize is eternal. While runners in ancient games received crowns that faded, your reward in Christ is everlasting. Stay encouraged. Don't stop believing. Lay aside whatever holds you back, and run with endurance—the Author and Finisher, Jesus, is waiting at the finish line.
Our complaints are accusations that God does not care; conversely, our trust is a testament to God's faithfulness.Subscribe to daily devotions e-mails: https://wcm.link/ddsub
John 6:41-42 Therefore, the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.” They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven'?” The Jews thought they knew Jesus' earthly father, so there was no way they could accept Jesus' confession that He was the bread that came down out of heaven. They questioned how He could say that. In their minds, they probably thought He was delusional, so they grumbled about Him. Such is the hardness of heart caused by unbelief. Unbelief fixes the mind on the circumstances on the earth, whereas faith fixes the mind on Jesus and the word of God. The spokesmen for the crowd couldn't hear Jesus' words because of unbelief. We abide in Jesus because we believe His Word, and He therefore is able to love through us. That's how faith works—through love. Jesus told His disciples in John 15:7-8, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” As we abide in Him, we embrace Jesus' purpose, worldview, and mindset. We believe what He believes and says. Can you see that the Jews couldn't believe what Jesus said because they were focused on their own perception of circumstances as they were on the earth? We are encouraged by these verses not to let the circumstances distract us from who Jesus is (the Son of God), what Jesus is (our high priest), what He has done (made purification of sins), where Jesus is (sitting at the right hand of the Father), what Jesus is doing at the right hand (running all things and interceding for us), and what He has promised (to preserve us through all circumstances in life by His mercy and grace). As we draw near to Jesus at the throne of grace, we receive the grace we need to love whoever God puts in our paths. I encourage you today, therefore, to overcome unbelief by keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus and what He says. In these verses, He is our daily sustenance, our daily bread from heaven. Father, give us this day, our daily bread. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

God's promises enable us to live a God-designed life. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to inherit the promises of God. It starts with intending to honor Him as Lord of our lives—then choosing to listen to Him and obey His Word. Pastor Allen shares the importance of faith, patience, and cooperation in fostering a strong relationship with Jesus—one that helps us overcome any trials and hardships we face. God calls us to be overcomers, and He will give us the resources we need when we put our trust in Him.
Why do we keep choosing disappointment over the God who never fails us? This powerful message from 2 Kings 13 reveals how idolatry isn't an ancient problem, but a modern struggle too. Through the story of Israel's stubborn kings and Elisha's miraculous final act, we see how God's compassion persists even when we repeatedly turn away. Listen and be inspired to trust God's faithfulness over our own temporary solutions.

Those who "believe in science and don't believe in God" are fond of saying we creationists simply believe in "the God of the gaps." This phrase, "the God of the gaps," implies that whenever we can't explain a mystery of nature, rather than continuing to seek an answer through scientific research and experimentation, we cop out by attributing it to God. To the contrary, I assert that those who resort to the "God of the gaps" criticism refuse to acknowledge God even when it is overwhelmingly obvious that the evidence points directly to Him.

Introduction The message focuses on the compassion and empathy of Jesus, highlighting specific instances from the Bible where Jesus was moved by human suffering, faith, and the spiritual state of people. Pastor Tommy emphasizes that Jesus is touched by our infirmities and cares about our lives, encouraging listeners to approach Him with boldness and faith. Jesus' Compassion and Empathy Jesus is touched by our infirmities: Quoting Hebrews 4:15, "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities." He understands what we go through and is able to help in times of need. A cry for mercy moves Jesus: The story of blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10 is used as an example. Bartimaeus cried out, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me," and Jesus stopped for him. Emphasizes that earnest cries to God still move Him to respond and help. Acts of faith touch Jesus: The story of the woman with the issue of blood is referenced. She believed that touching the hem of Jesus' garment would heal her. "If I could just touch the hem of His garment, I know that I'll be made whole." Jesus felt power leave Him and turned to find out who touched Him. Faith intersects with God's faithfulness to create miracles. The Centurion's faith: The Centurion's faith in Luke 7 is highlighted. The Centurion believed Jesus could heal his servant from a distance by just saying the word. "I am not worthy that you come under my roof. But...if you'll just say the word...my servant will be healed." Jesus marveled at the Centurion's great faith, "I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." Pastor Tommy expresses a desire for people to believe God in such a way that He marvels at their faith. Unbelief makes Jesus marvel: In Mark 6:6, Jesus marveled because of the unbelief of the people in his hometown. He was limited in what he could do because people didn't believe. Pastor Tommy expresses a desire to not have Jesus marvel at their unbelief after all the blessings and help He has provided. Hardness of hearts angers Jesus: Reference to Mark 3:5, where Jesus was angry and grieved by the hardness of hearts of the Pharisees. They were more concerned about the Sabbath than the man with the withered hand. "He looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts." Pastor Tommy urges listeners to ask God to search their hearts and remove any wickedness that leads to hardness of heart. Suffering saints move Jesus: The story of Stephen in Acts 7 is used as an example. Stephen, while being stoned, looked up to heaven and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. The suffering of those who are martyred or suffer for the cause of Christ still moves God today. Pastor Tommy believes Jesus has stood up for them in times of suffering. Jesus weeps: Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:33, 35). He was moved by the weeping of Mary and the other Jews. "When Jesus therefore saw her weeping...He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. And...Jesus wept." He wept not for Lazarus, but for those still alive and grieving. Jesus wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41). He was moved by the lost souls in the city. "When He was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over it." Pastor Tommy believes Jesus is still touched by the lost people in the world and the lack of people willing to share the gospel. Conclusion and Invitation Come boldly to the throne of grace: Based on Hebrews 4:16, knowing that Jesus is touched by our infirmities, we can come boldly to the throne of grace. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." We can take our cares and troubles to Him, knowing He cares and is touched by what we are going through.

Jesus' heals a possessed boy and the disciples faced challenges faced. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus offers valuable insights to understand the power of faith and the importance of relying on God's strength. Sermon Notes Mark 9:14 & 15 Jesus and 3 of His disciples return to the others. There is a large crowd that runs up to meet Jesus Mark 9:16 Jesus asks His disciples what they are discussing with the crowd Mark 9:17 & 18 A father answers and says that he “told” the disciples to cast out the demon from his son, but they could not Mark 9:19 Jesus is disgusted with them Mark 9:20 The boy is brought to Jesus and the demon causes physical reactions in the boy Mark 9:21 & 22 Jesus asks how long this has been happening. The father says since he was a child and says to Jesus “If You can do anything have pity Mark 9:23 Jesus says “If You can ... all things are possible to him who believes Mark 9:24 The father cries out I believe help my Unbelief Mark 9:24 – 27 Jesus commands the demon to come out, there is a violent reaction and the boy appears dead, but Jesus raises him up Mark 9:28 Disciples ask why they couldn't do it.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Oli-go-pistis…. Losing confidence If mustard seed-sized faith can save you, it can also bring you victory in every situation. Faith is not about volume—it is about trust. The same faith that moved you from Satan's kingdom to God's kingdom, from eternal death to eternal life, is the faith that can heal, deliver, and provide for you. Think about the story of Peter walking on water. When Peter stepped out of the boat and walked toward Jesus, he was operating in faith. But the moment he took his eyes off Jesus and focused on the wind and waves, he began to sink. Jesus immediately caught him and said, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" (Matthew 14:31). The example of a mustard seed is profound. In the natural, a mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds, but it grows into a tree where birds can rest in its branches. Jesus used this comparison to show that faith, though small in appearance, holds great potential when planted and nurtured. Faith is not stagnant; it is active and dynamic when exercised. Unbelief: The Real Issue In Matthew 17, Jesus' disciples tried to cast out a demon but failed. They were confused because they had cast out demons before. When they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it this time, He answered, "Because of your unbelief." Not because their faith was too small, but because unbelief was interfering with their faith. Faith and unbelief are in a constant battle. It is not about increasing faith but removing unbelief. Unbelief comes from fear, doubt, and over-reliance on our senses. This kind of unbelief is removed through prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). Fasting and prayer focus our attention on God, quiet our flesh, and strengthen our faith by eliminating distractions. Unbelief Spend time in the Word – Romans 10:17 says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." The more you immerse yourself in Scripture, the stronger your faith becomes. Pray and fast – Prayer strengthens our spiritual connection with God, and fasting helps eliminate distractions that fuel unbelief. Surround yourself with believers – Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Fellowship with strong believers helps encourage and build your faith. Speak faith-filled words – Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Speak words that align with God's promises rather than words of doubt. Take action on your faith – James 2:26 says, "Faith without works is dead." Step out in faith and trust that God will honor His Word.

John Baumgartner Jesus returns from the Transfiguration's mountaintop experience with God back to the trials and troubles of His life. Unbelief is all around Him—the scribes, the crowds, even His disciples are faithless. A father comes to Him with barely any faith at all, pleading with Jesus to heal his son. Jesus helps him see his real trouble, and redirects his eyes from focusing on his circumstances to focusing on Jesus. Both the father and his son are healed by Jesus.

Reward Sibanda delivers a powerful revelation about our identity as kingdom people rather than just church attendees, reminding us that nothing shall be impossible for those who understand their divine authority.• Believers are citizens of God's kingdom before they are members of the church• Righteousness and justice form the foundation of God's throne• Unbelief, not demons, is what requires prayer and fasting to overcome• The gospel offers not just a new future but a new past• Kingdom authority gives us power to bring heaven's government to earth• Faith is the substance heaven uses to craft our desires• Understanding our divine identity empowers us to live beyond impossibility• Racial reconciliation requires a kingdom perspective that transcends trauma• Creation is waiting for the manifestation of sons who know their authorityIf you're not living in the power of the Holy Spirit and stepping into situations with kingdom authority, you're living below your potential. Your identity in Christ gives you access to the impossible.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to William Latham from San Antonio, TX. Thank you for believing in the power of God's Word. Your partnership with us through Project23 is anchoring people in truth. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 9:14-29: And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.” And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can'! All things are possible for one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”— Mark 9:14-29 Jesus comes down the mountain and walks into chaos. His disciples are arguing. The scribes are accusing. A crowd has gathered. And in the middle of it all is a desperate father. He had brought his demon-possessed son for healing. But Jesus wasn't there. So he turned to the disciples. And they failed. The demon remained. The boy was still suffering. Then Jesus steps in. He sees the desperation and says, “Bring him to me.” The boy is thrown into a violent episode. Foam. Convulsions. Fear. The father pleads, “If you can do anything, have compassion on us.” Jesus answers with a gentle correction: “If you can? All things are possible for one who believes.” Then comes one of the most raw, vulnerable prayers in the Bible: “I believe; help my unbelief!” That's when everything changes. Jesus doesn't demand perfect faith. He responds to honest faith. He casts out the demon with a word. The boy looks dead. But Jesus lifts him up by the hand—and he rises. Later, the disciples ask the question we're all thinking: “Why couldn't we do it?” And Jesus answers simply: “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.” In other words, you tried to grip the situation—but you weren't holding on to me. There's a truth buried in this moment in both situations that we all need to hear. Faith isn't about the strength of your grip on God. It's about the strength of his grip on you. We try to hold it together. Grip tighter. Fix the situation. Speak the right words. Muster the right belief. But at the end of the day, we're not strong enough. That's why Jesus invites us to surrender, not to strive. He doesn't require perfect faith. He honors honest faith. He's not looking for your spiritual muscle. He's looking for your humility. So if your faith feels weak today—good. That's where grace meets you. Let go of the illusion that you need to have it all together. And trust that the hand holding you is stronger than the faith holding on, and pray an honest prayer today. #HeldByGrace, #FaithAndUnbelief, #Project23 ASK THIS: Are you gripping harder when Jesus is asking you to let go? Where do you need to admit your unbelief to God? How does knowing God's grip is stronger than yours change how you pray? What situation have you tried to control instead of surrendering? DO THIS: Pray the most honest prayer you can today—even if it includes doubt. Let God meet you in the weakness. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I'm trying to hold on—but I'm tired. Help me trust that your grip is stronger than mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: "He Will Hold Me Fast."
