The Christ Hymn

A Wide View of Ministry
February 28, 2021
The disciples continue to show their blindness when it comes to understanding Jesus and his mission. In this passage, their blindness has to do with their view of ministry. They have a really narrow view of God’s work in the world, so Jesus has to expand their vision. And he intends to expand our vision too.

God Is Our Refuge and Strength

Mark
How to Be Great
