Part 3: In Front of Them All
Based on Mark 2:12, Pr. Jermaine Gayle shares the story of the person with paralysis. Here we learn that God has a specific message for every mess we experience. He speaks to us right where we are and calls us what we indeed are “His son and daughter” This He does so that we may have hope in becoming what we were made to be. The person with paralysis after being healed walked out “in front of them,” which speaks to the fact that when we live according to God’s will, our lives are changed and the lives of those around us.

Furthermore, when we pray, Lord change my heart, we can be confident that the wilderness is in our future.
