Essential #2: Faith In Jesus

Discover what real faith looks like and why “fake faith” doesn’t cut it.

In this powerful sermon from the Essentials series, Mark Magee explores the story of the desperate father and the disciples in Mark 9:14–29 to reveal three levels of faith:
  • Faith by Association – When closeness to Jesus alone isn’t enough.
  • Faith of Desperation – A plea filled with uncertainty: “I believe; help my unbelief!”
  • Faith of Submission – True trust woven into prayer and obedient action.

Real faith is more than words, feelings, or ideas—it’s active trust leading to obedience. Learn practical steps to move from shallow faith to a faith that changes everything.

Key Scripture: Mark 9:14–29
