In this inspiring sermon, Pastor Max dives deep into the powerful story of Bartimaeus, as told in Luke 18:35-43. Despite his blindness, Bartimaeus knew exactly who Jesus was and refused to let the moment pass him by when Jesus walked by. He cried out with relentless faith, calling Jesus “Son of David,” acknowledging Him as the Savior with the power to heal.
Bartimaeus' plea for mercy wasn’t just a casual request—it was a bold act of faith. Mercy is at the heart of who God is: forgiveness, salvation, and overcoming life’s obstacles all stem from His mercy. This sermon reminds us that Jesus is moved by #compassion, not by the search for signs and wonders. When we seek God's mercy, we are walking in faith, and with faith comes healing, transformation, and miracles.
Bartimaeus' faith stopped Jesus in His tracks. It was his tireless, determined cry for mercy that caught the Lord’s attention, and it was his unshakable faith that ultimately led to his healing. Pastor Max challenges us to exercise that same persistent faith in our own lives and to recognize the power of Jesus' presence when He is near.
Join us as we explore the significance of persistent faith and learn how to cry out to Jesus for the mercy and healing we need in our lives.
