Great is Thy Faithfulness

Sermon Introduction –

In Mark 5, a chronic illness and a tragic death remind us there is immense suffering in this world; but the gospel also reminds us God in Christ is still working to heal, forgive, to mend broken hearts, and to make all things new. This week Pastor Craig reminds us of these things in his sermon, “Great is Thy Faithfulness” based on Mark 5: 21-43 and Lamentations 3:22-33.
