Authority to Forgive Sins

Cary Cox, from Mark 2:1-12. When a paralyzed man is brought to Jesus (through the roof!), Jesus claims to do what only God can do – forgive sins! He does two miracles to back up his claim. Jesus has authority to forgive sins!

Fame and Success

Cary Cox, from Mark 1:28-39. Jesus has a full day of ministry, and stays up late showing compassion and power to the whole town! He gets up early to pray, and has a time of testing. The crowds are calling, but Jesus is not after fame and worldly success. He is after obedience to the Father! True success is faithfulness to the will of God.
