Desired by the People Mark 3: 7-12 The rapid pace we have become accustomed to in Mark’s Gospel continues. Jesus seldom stays in one place for extended periods of time. He is continually on the move, ministering to different people, with varied needs, in different places. Such is the case with ...read more

Like we said a few weeks back, it was a Sunday thing. ...read more
