The Power of Passivity (Mark 9: 25-29; Acts 1: 3-5)

by Dr. Richard Kremer | Nov 7, 2021 | Sermon Text

Never forget that in this situation the disciples were trying to do a very good thing. They were trying to heal a young boy of epilepsy. They had watched Jesus perform similar healings many times. They knew exactly what words he had said, knew exactly what actions he...
