Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Jesus was a deeply compassionate Savior.

Every miracle he performed displayed his love for suffering people. But every miracle

was meant to be more than a miracle. Today, we're going to continue through Paul's sermon series

in the book of Mark. And in this message, Paul examines how the crowd stopped short of what Jesus was

truly offering and how we often ask for too little from our Lord as well. If you've been enjoying

God's word is the ultimate big picture that before origin and beyond destiny view of all things. And that word of God is given,

that big picture is given to orient you so that you would know your world, you would know

yourself, you would know God, you would know the meaning and purpose of life.

Let me explain it to you this way.

Pretend that we are in Manhattan.

And we're at the corner of 34th Street and 7th Avenue where Macy's is

and we have to get up somewhere near 76th and park,

and we are lost.

We know we're on Earth.

We know we're in Manhattan, but we're lost.

We don't have a clue where we're going.

And there's a man who walks up.
