Outcasts! Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 16, 2012

In Mark 2 we meet two outcasts: a paralyzed man and Levi. Each had a decision to make that mirrors decisions that we as humans must make as well with the presence of Jesus.

Whereas in Chapter 1 we saw Jesus, the ultimate action hero, begin his battle against the enemy, Satan, in Chapter 2 He takes the war to a new front and begins battling the religious establishment in Israel, which was just as much an impediment to entering God’s kingdom as Satan. He does this by: ...read more

When Jesus Touches…

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Feb 12, 2009

Jesus does not need nor want an audience in order to heal. He heals to bring people into service. He cures death to bring us to new life today.

When Jesus Touches… Mark 1:29-37 This morning it was so tempting to start off with a mother-in-law joke. But, I have several problems. First, I have been assured that it would be in very poor taste.
