We continue our series through the Gospel of Mark as we explore Jesus as the Healer. Mark offers us a vivid snapshot of just twenty-four hours in the life of Jesus. In this brief yet beautiful account of His healing ministry, we discover profound truths about how to bring our own areas of brokenness before Him. This passage reveals what characterizes healing in the kingdom of God and how both healing and the absence of it can ultimately point us to something far greater.

The next generation doesn’t need a flawless church — they need a faithful one.
Right now, kids and teens are forming their faith by watching the way we live. Just as Paul urged Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God” (2 Timothy 1:6), we are called to nurture our faith today in a way that can be seen, shared, and followed. A vibrant, living faith in the present is the greatest gift we can pass on to the future. This message invites us to discover how we can be future-focused by living faithfully in the present.Scripture Referenced: 2 Timothy 1:3-7
