    This message explains why Jesus could not perform a great work in His hometown of Nazareth.

    Text: “He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them” (Mark 6:5).

Chapter 5 tells us how he touches a leper and later announces to a man that his sins are forgiven, then he demonstrates his authority to forgive by healing the man. He doesn’t fast like he’s ...read more
