Two Women, Two Testimonies, One Glorious Lord Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2021

Mark 5:21-43 tells of the healing of two women who received new lives when it seemed all was lost. Each one was a living testimony of the miracle-working power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 4, 2022

The believers were instructed to wait in Jerusalem. They were not ready, but why not? They were absolutely convinced of the resurrection, but still not ready to launch out and take the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.
