Sermons / Believe Again After Loss: The Power of the Second Touch (Mark 8) | Pastor Robert Tisdale

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches “Trees, Part Three” from Mark 8:22–26, focusing on Jesus healing a blind man in stages and asking whether people can believe again after loss. He connects the miracle to David’s recovery at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30), urging listeners to encourage themselves in the Lord, pursue what was stolen, and trust God’s promise to “recover all” even while grieving. The sermon warns that disappointment can train believers to live “low,” guarding against hope, but emphasizes that “again” is mercy and that partial progress is not permanent. Using Psalms 42–43, Psalm 3, and other biblical examples, he calls people to speak to their souls, lift their heads, look up, worship, and seek another touch from God for restoration and clarity. 00:00 Can You Believe Again 01:38 David Recovers All 05:46 Stop Living Low 08:57 Pressure Of Again 13:31 Blurry After First Touch 16:13 Mercy Called Again 18:14 God Does It Again 21:35 Speak To Your Soul 24:12 Hope Thou In God 25:32 Talk Back to Your Soul 27:49 Hope Again Praise Again 31:35 Restoration Language 34:47 Lift Your Head 37:59 Breaking the Yoke 40:15 Second Touch Miracle 43:45 Believe After Loss 46:09 Altar Call Speak to Soul
