Mark

The New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ came into the world on a divine rescue mission—to save sinners from their sins. That message is powerfully pictured in Mark chapters 2 as Jesus interacts with several “sinners and tax collectors.” At the heart of Jesus’ ministry was a desire to preach the good news of the gospel—that He came not to save the righteous, those who believed they were inherently good and didn’t need be saved, but those who recognized their poor and miserable spiritual condition. Join Tom Pennington from Mark 2 as he explains how Jesus is A Friend of Sinners.
