Mark 3 - Who is God's Family

Mark 3: Family, Sabbath, and the Nature of Blasphemy

In this episode, I delve into the gospel of Mark, chapter 3, exploring important interactions between Jesus, the Pharisees, and the Sadducees. We discuss Jesus' miraculous healing on the Sabbath, his interactions with his family and followers, and his calling of the apostles. I also touch on the broader implications of Jesus speaking to Gentiles and his teachings on blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This episode invites you to reflect on the true meaning of 'family' in the context of God's will and the importance of understanding what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit truly means.
