Part 4 - Church Hurt
Jul 20, 2025 • Barry Bandara
About the series:
Jesus encountered people who were skeptical of him as well as those who were deeply scarred by the pains from life on a fallen world. This is still true today. We will take a closer look at these stories of skeptics and scars from the Gospel of Mark and how they apply us today.
About this week's message:
Church hurt can produce scars. It can also turn people into skeptics. The Pharisees were not engaging in anything illegal or immoral within their leadership roles; instead, they were characterized by legalism, condemnation, and control. We'll cover how to respond in a healthy way to church hurt.
Key Phrase: “Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus.” Mark 3:2
