The Gift You Didn’t Ask For: Why Jesus Gives More Than We Expect

from Covenant Church Doylestown Sermons · host Steve Huber

Why does Jesus forgive before He heals? In this message from Mark 2:1–12, we see a paralyzed man come to Jesus for healing — but receive forgiveness first. Explore the surprise of the gift, the grace of the gift, and the authority of the One who gives it. This sermon reveals the heart of Jesus, who meets our deepest need even when we don’t recognize it. __________ If you're new let us know & visit https://www.covenantdoylestown.org to learn more about us and how you can get connected.
