MARGINS TO MERCY | Mark

Описание: In Mark 7: 24–37, Jesus meets two people on the margins: a mother pleading for her daughter, and a deaf man who can barely speak. This talk explores persistent faith without entitlement, and a Saviour who steps close—touching what we’d rather hide—and restores with mercy that points us straight to the cross.
