Week 13 works through the verses from Mark 7:30 -8:32 with a focus on the stories of healing the blind and the deaf, the spiritual blindness and deafness as a consequence of hardened hearts and unbelief, and ends with Jesus asking His disciples, “Who do you say I am?”
The Living One – Week 3: They Were Clueless
The way of the Messiah leads to the cross, and that is the measure of the love of God. But we discover that many (including Jesus’ disciples) were clueless! This message takes a look at the events of Palm Sunday, and how Jesus had repeatedly predicted his crucifixion and His resurrection on the third day. However, “they were clueless.” Let us not be clueless!
