More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Praying Scripture #23 -- Mark 9:14-29 -- "Jesus I believe...and I don't. Help me in my doubt!"
In Mark 9, a man come looking for Jesus. This man came with a need; a parent who found the child of his heart beaten up and locked up by some force beyond his control. He had tried everything else, but nothing worked. Then he heard about Jesus. And even though he's a sensible man, he's a needy man and Jesus is his last hope. You do realize that's often when we come to God in prayer, when we have no other hope. In his prayer he asks Jesus to do something "if he can." And Jesus responds, "If I can, all things are possible if you have faith." And the man responds with this famous prayer.
"Jesus I believe. Help me in my unbelief." It's woven together in our lives too, isn't it. We believe and we doubt. In the end the man's prayer was answered. His son was saved. But he left us an example of prayer, that more than once I have followed. "Lord I believe, and I doubt. Help me to have more faith."
