   #409: Why Did Jesus Eat With Sinners? - Mark part 8

   Mark 2:13–17 & Romans 3:10 In today’s episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark and meet a man named Levi, a tax collector whose life changed the moment Jesus said two simple words: “Follow me.” But what happened next surprised the Pharisees. Instead of avoiding sinners, Jesus sat down and shared a meal with them. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked a question that still matters today: Why would a holy teacher eat with sinners?

   #408 :Why Did Jesus Say “Your Sins Are Forgiven”? - Mark Part 7

   Scripture: Mark 2:1–12 Jesus returns to Capernaum and a massive crowd gathers so tightly packed that there isn’t even room outside the door. While Jesus preaches the Word, four friends arrive carrying a paralyzed man—so desperate to get him to Jesus that they climb onto the roof, dig through it, and lower their friend down right in front of Him. But instead of healing the man first, Jesus says something surprising: “Son, your sins are forgiven.” This becomes the beginning of controversy because the teachers of the law know that only God can forgive sins. Jesus responds by showing that He has…

   #426: Where Does Sin Really Begin? - Mark . Part . 25

   Mark 7:9–23 Jesus continues His conversation with the Pharisees and teachers of the law, showing how human traditions can become excuses for disobeying God.
