Sunday Morning Series - Walking in the Authority of Jesus - Calling for God's Power

Text:  Mark 10:46-52

Words can produce faith or doubt. Authority deals with what's possible, while power deals with the impossible. It's not important how the miracle comes. It's important to know how to access it.

What Prevents Healing Power?

1.  Disobedience - ignoring God's instructions/commands.
2.  Unbelief - hearing truth and rejecting it.
3.  Ignorance - You've never heard the truth.

Understanding Unbelief - John 20:24-29

1.  Unbelief is the rejection of truth.
2.  Thomas heard the truth that Jesus rose from the dead, but rejected it.
3.  Unbelief is the rejection of truth.

Blind Bartimeus - Mark 10:46-52

1.  He cries out when he hears that Jesus is coming his way.
2.  Those around him tell him to be quiet.
3.  Many warned him. The Greek word used here means to rebuke, censure, warn, admonish.
4.  He refuses, and Jesus stood still.
5.  Bartimeus throws aside his garment - the official sign he was recognized as blind and could beg. It was equivalent to a license or permit. The Greek word used here means to throw off, lose, or throw away. The only other time it's used is in Hebrews 10:35.
6.  Jesus asks him what he wants. Unlike many people today, who would answer, "healing or a blessing," Bartimeus gets specific: "that I may receive my sight."
7.  The focus is on his receiving. Miracles have more to do with our receiving than with God granting or doing something.

Doubt and unbelief put us in a place of waiting for the action to happen. It's not about God being willing to perform a miracle. It's about us being willing to receive it.

Sunday Morning Series - Walking in The Authority of Jesus - The Operation of Authority

Text:  Luke 7:1-10

The centurion asked the Jewish leaders in his community to approach Jesus and ask Him to heal his servant. He'd heard of Jesus, but there's no indication he ever saw Jesus.

The leaders went to Jesus and pleaded with him to heal the centurion's servant based on his love and actions for the Jewish community. We do some of the same case building today. Jesus goes with them in spite of their wrong approach because of the centurion's faith.

While the centurion doesn't feel he's worthy of Jesus entering his home, Jesus disagrees. How many times do we disqualify ourselves from the blessings of God because we feel unworthy? He is able, but are we willing to receive?

This man understood authority. The soldiers under him came, went, and did what he commanded. Authority involves 3 things:

1.   Going
2.   Coming
3.   Doing

Authority deals with what is possible, while power deals with what is impossible. It involves faith, not just knowledge.
