For those of us who are quite often tempted to give up on God

It’s rough out there. And Jesus knew it would be. Look what happened to him and he was the only truly good and faithful person.

Jesus said,  “Don’t lose heart when you pray.”

Luke 17.

_

You know, where Jesus heals the 10 lepers…and only 1 returns to thank him.

_

Pastor Mark unpacks these verses and gives us (surprise…the law…and the gospel) what we need to realize our great need…and then hands over to us, the One who fulfills that need for us.
