The Authority of Jesus

Mark - The Good News About Jesus

Speaker: Don Stewart
Date: 10/01/2021

We are continuing our teaching series in the Gospel of Mark by looking at the story of Jesus healing the paralytic (Mark 2:1-12).  Jesus had the power to heal and the authority to forgive sins, but how good are we at listening to Jesus today?
