<For a sermon>
Even if the text is the same, the effect is different depending on how it is structured. Of course, the text
It should not deviate from and should be an accurate interpretation.
In the case of the text, it is a text that has already become famous as it is famous."
Hey, nothing is impossible for those who believe."
14-19 is the basis for Jesus' teaching.
He enjoyed the lessons centering on the Jin incident.
He visited Jesus for a purpose, but Jesus was absent, and he met his disciples instead.
He tried to heal through his disciples, but it was in vain.
While I was arguing with the people, the Lord came. The Lord is now changing with the three disciples.
It was on the way down from the volcano.
The boy's father wanted Jesus to heal him, and he was very conscientious.
So it's not "Teacher, please fix this child no matter what"
It was "If you can, please fix it."
Not because I thought it was shameless. Today, people catch doctors and
It is in stark contrast to Kang-cheong, who says, "You must live no matter what."
Jesus' words were, "If you can, what do you mean?"
Can you be so pathetic?" The rebuke was, and the Lord healed him.
The disciples were puzzled. The teacher does it, but why can't we? we like teachers
Can't you?
The Lord's answer to the disciples' question was, "It is possible only through prayer."
For this last verse 29, the events from verse 14 existed.
People forget their fractions when they think things are going their way.
Manda thinks that he has commanded the whole world. But praying
has already acknowledged his incompetence and there is someone who can give me strength
It is important to acknowledge that
It is important because it is a confession. The Lord was trying to make this known. This is the text
Therefore, what we need to discover here is, rather than prayer itself, why
It is the purpose of whether we should pray. It is simply a prayer to satisfy selfish desires.
The Tao is rather a distortion of the text. Whether it is morning prayer, all-night prayer, or fasting prayer, resonanceism
It is difficult to do this, and it has to be to completely depend on God. Achieving the means
God is glorified when we pray for submission to the will of God, not for prayer.

1. At Canaan Agricultural School, every time we eat a meal, we provide table education.
They shout, “Don’t live to eat, let’s eat to work. Eat, live, work.”
It is not easy to say which comes first among these three things.
The horn must live to work and eat to work.
2. God has entrusted work to all of us. There is no distinction between men and women. Everyone has a job.
Yes. It is not a matter of learning or not learning. Everyone has an innate mission.
So the talents are different, the intelligence is different, and the entertainment is different.
3. But people do not want to admit this. They try to live according to their own stubbornness.
So, there are parents who persist in teaching music even though they have no talent for music.
C. I never try to admit that it is my aptitude.
4. God, who called us and saved us, has also given us another mission.
Those works are based on the premise of saving souls. So for those in need, it is
He gives you strength and gives you talents.
5. But what we need to know before we can do God's work well
There is this. If we do not realize it, we are nothing but useless servants.
Let's look at the experiences of the disciples.
I. God gives missions to the saints (14-19).
A. There was a child possessed by a demon.
1. The problem of ghosts is a little more complicated. Moreover, the Korean church
He has a strong sense of humor, and even public speaking is taboo. But the Bible
It's a story from the first episode, but how can it be banned
2. Not because of the influence of a group called Berea or any specific person, but in the Bible.
This is a story that is told because it is coming. Therefore, it should not be misunderstood.
it will be a peacock
3. It is difficult to say in one word what a ghost is. It is so complicated.
It is not easy to say what the relationship between demons and the devil and Satan is.
Just believe it as it is written in. Today's story is about a ghost, who has epilepsy
seems to have caused the disease.
In verse 4.18, what kind of evil the demon did to this child is introduced.
is epilepsy. So, how would the parents of this child feel?
5. There are a lot of people with epilepsy in Korea too. So, organizations that help them
was born, and the representative place is the "Rose Society". They internationalized this gathering and
It also helps epilepsy patients, and a few years ago, a virgin doctor from Yonsei University volunteered in Nepal.
There was a case where he died in a fall accident on the way, and many people's hearts broke.
6. People with epilepsy cannot distinguish time and place and suffer from pain.
Sometimes I do it in a train full of people, and sometimes I have seizures while studying at school.
Do it. It's helpless.
7. This child's father's feelings are understandable enough. So he found Jesus.
If it weren't for epilepsy, I wouldn't have felt the need to meet Jesus.
8. But the Lord wanted the disciples to run into this. That is, once you
He told me to do it. So he avoided the place. But what about the disciples?
There was no solution at all. Rather, I was only humiliated by other people. I was only ridiculed.
At that very moment, Jesus appeared and saved them from their crisis.
B. God wants me to work.
1. There are a lot of people around me who need my help. I need comfort.
There are those who do and there are those who need service. Also, there are those who need my material.
there are people
2. I have the ability to help. I can share a warm heart.
You don't have to. The problem is your state of mind. Are you ready to help others?
3. However, this does not mean that you only have your heart. Jesus’ disciples do not
There was only a note, but in reality, it was not. Because there was nothing that had to be there.
What the hell is that? Because they tried to do it on their own.
II. Only through prayer (20-29).
A. Do you believe it?
1. The disciples were helpless by their strength. So they came to Jesus.
God did not leave the child alone. He had a seizure. It is a threat of blackmail. At the time of Jesus.
It's a tactic to make the door look even worse.
2. This child has been possessed by demons since childhood.
It was a spiritual problem that could not be solved with the strength of the liver.
3. If the parents who love their children were for the sake of their children, what would they have done? Ah
Magically, this father would not have sought Jesus for his own sake.
It must be said that he found Jesus because of his work. Actually, he also has many problems, right?
However, their own problems are only covered by the problems of their children.
4. So I begged him to fix it if possible.
I think so. But what does the Lord say? "What do you mean you can do it?" Finn
you were drunk
5. You need to look at the background. The Lord did not say that in other places. But
He said that here. It was to awaken the disciples. The Lord
He uses indirect speech to teach his disciples.
6. After that, the Lord healed this child completely. And He told the secret.
"It is possible only through prayer"
B. You must pray.
1. The disciples had already experienced exorcism.
They wouldn't have even touched it. They had the experience of being cast out.
2. So I believed it would happen, but it didn't. They know
There were many more things to be done. One of them was the power of prayer.
Now we too must know the power of prayer.
3. Prayer is possible when we acknowledge our weakness.
No one prays for work
I don't do it.
You lose. So naturally, you pray.
4. The past experience sometimes makes us complace and careless.
It is the cause of the disciples' difficulties and the cause of our failure.
5. But the Lord handles it very simply. So the disciples can't help but wonder.
It wasn't there, because otherwise it wouldn't be known. The Lord knew it right away.
In other words, the Lord gave me a similar experience to teach me.
C. Therefore, we must depend on the Lord and ask questions at times.
6. It's not what I do, it's what the Lord who uses me does.
It is not, but the Lord is doing it through me.
But you must know that the Lord rides on a donkey, but not on a sick donkey or a wrong donkey.
It must be healthy. And it must be normal. That is what I have to prepare for.
