The Word Before the Word Mark 2:1 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of Mark chapter 2 in verse
• 0:04
  1. It says, A few days later, when Jesus again
• 0:08
  entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had
• 0:12
  come. Word got out. Even without social media
• 0:16
  and TV, people heard about it. It used to be
• 0:18
  when something needed to get around, it got around.
• 0:21
  I think it's still that way today, but sometimes
• 0:23
  it seems like people don't want you to talk about
• 0:26
  the most important things. Could it just be an
• 0:28
  attempt by the enemy to make us think that we
• 0:30
  can't talk about the most important things so
• 0:32
  that we won't and therefore people won't get
• 0:35
  saved? Jesus is clearly in our church every time
• 0:38
  we meet. I suppose people could spread the word
• 0:41
  about him and we would grow in numbers and they
• 0:44
  would grow in maturity, but it doesn't always
• 0:47
  seem to be happening, at least not with the frequency
• 0:49
  that I would expect. It's evidence of an active
• 0:52
  enemy and evidence of how we are still somewhat
• 0:55
  conformed to a world that is destined to end.
• 0:57
  Thank you, Jesus, that we can still be set free
• 1:00
  and that everyone who really needs to know can
• 1:02
  hear the truth and respond. Father in heaven,
• 1:05
  for all those who are listening to this message,
• 1:07
  whatever difficult spot they may be in, I pray
• 1:09
  they will use their circumstances to glorify
• 1:12
  you and spread the name of Jesus.
