Mark ch 8, parallels much of the material from the 1st half of Mark Ch 6 & 7.

An exploration of the "Law of God" and the concept of sin.

This episode looks at two miracles of Jesus. The healing of a gentile woman's daughter and the healing of a deaf/ mute.  

As we launch our new "Wednesday Praise Nights" we are exploring the basics of the faith. Today we begin looking at the Heidelberg Catachism
