On Your Marks: Friends, Faith and Forgiveness

Welcome to another empowering message from "On Your Marks" campaign! Today we are delighted to have Pastor Lynda back with an inspiring message titled 'Friends, Faith, and Forgiveness,' continuing our exploration of the Gospel of Mark with Mark 2:1-12.

Pastor Lynda begins by highlighting the urgency felt in the world—a shared sense of purpose to proclaim the gospel. Drawing from the first-hand witness of John Mark to Jesus' ministry, she unfolds a touching narrative about four friends who carry their sick companion to Jesus.

These friends, as Pastor Lynda describes, display a remarkable tenacity and effort in bringing their paralysed friend to the feet of Jesus. In a world where challenges can often paralyse us, she emphasises the importance of having friends who will go to great lengths to help us overcome those situations, friends who will carry us to Jesus.

Pastor Lynda reflects on the significance of close friendships—those that are not only nearby physically but also close to our hearts. She speaks about the beauty of a secure, enduring circle of friendship that develops over time. The episode encourages listeners to cultivate friendships that persevere, emphasising the crucial role of friends full of faith in our lives.

So, join us for this heartfelt episode as we delve into the power of friendships, faith, and forgiveness. Discover the transformative impact of a close circle of friends, and be inspired to build and nurture these meaningful connections in your own life.
