Our greatest need is spiritual, the forgiveness of our sins, rather than any physical or material needs. The story of Jesus healing the paralytic in Mark 2 highlights this as Jesus first forgives the man's sins before addressing his physical condition, showing Jesus' authority to forgive sins and his priority of spiritual healing. Pastor Levi encourages believers to have confident, courageous, creative, and continuing faith, urging them to prioritize sharing the gospel and bringing others to Jesus, reflecting the mission and focus of Christ's ministry.

In this installment of our series in the Gospel of Mark, we examined how Jesus, through his actions and teachings, emphasized his servant nature and his compassion. We're reminded to come to God with a posture of humility as we submit ourselves to His will for our lives because it's always what's best. Lastly, as we witness the miracle of salvation in our own lives, we are called to share this transformative and healing message with others, extending the hope and love of Christ to the world around us.

We continued our series through the Gospel of Mark, emphasizing Jesus' authority and His role as a servant. We're challenged to submit to the authority of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life, recognizing His power and following Him. With a willing heart, God can use us to accomplish great things for His glory.

We begin a brand new series in the Gospel of Mark. Written by John Mark, a young follower of Jesus with close ties to early church leaders like Peter and Paul, this gospel captures firsthand accounts of Jesus' ministry focusing on its background and unique aspects. The narrative starts with John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus by preaching repentance and baptizing people and Jesus himself.
