Mark 9:14-27
The Faith of a Fighting Father

Most Father's Day sermons either skip over the pain or lead with the rebuke, but Bishop-Elect Mack came to celebrate the fathers who keep showing up even when they are running out of answers. He preached from Mark 9, where a desperate father brings his suffering son to Jesus after the disciples have already failed them, and the father's honest cry, "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief," becomes the turning point of the whole story. The point was not that the father had perfect faith but that he refused to stop bringing what he loved most to Jesus, and Jesus honored that fight. For every parent carrying something they cannot fix on their own, the message was clear: keep bringing it to Jesus, because what the enemy tried to kill is coming back to life.
