Summary

As Mark brings his fast-moving first chapter to a close, he records one of the most striking moments in Jesus’ early ministry: the healing of a leper.

In today’s episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul helps us see ourselves in this desperate man—not just in his condition, but in his humble, faith-filled response to the mercy and power of Christ.
