When Church Hurts

Church hurt is real—and it leaves a mark. This message unpacks three powerful stories from the Gospel of Mark, showing how Jesus confronts shame-based spirituality, rigid religion, and silence in the face of suffering. It also offers an honest look at how hurt within the Church can impact both faith and trust. Whether you’ve been wounded or wonder if you’ve wounded others, this message is an invitation to healing, reflection, and hope in the heart of a Good Father.

From Series: "The Good News: the Gospel of Mark"
As we look at the first 8 chapters of The Gospel of Mark, we will see Jesus moving with urgency — healing the sick, casting out demons, and teaching with unparalleled authority. And everywhere He goes, He announces one central message: “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” But Jesus didn’t just proclaim this message — He demonstrated it as well. Everywhere Jesus went, He showed people who He is, and how that is good news for all of humanity. In The Gospel of Mark: The Good News, we will explore the revolutionary way Jesus reveals Himself and calls us to respond to the good news of His Kingdom. The good news goes so far beyond salvation – it's an invitation to transform our lives, day in and day out.
