#411:  A Hand Made Whole-  Mark part 10

#411: A Hand Made Whole- Mark part 10

Author: Jessica White April 15, 2026 Duration: 15:03
Mark 3:1–6 In today’s story, Jesus enters a synagogue on the Sabbath and meets a man with a shriveled hand. While others watch closely—waiting to see if Jesus will break their rules—Jesus does something unexpected. He heals. But instead of celebrating, the religious leaders become angry. Why? Because they cared more about their rules… than people. In this episode, we explore what the Sabbath was meant to be, what the Pharisees misunderstood, and what it means to truly love God and others. 🔑 Key Truth God’s laws are rooted in love—and they teach us how to love Him and others well. Try asking your kids these questions this week: 👉 “Why does this rule exist?” 👉 “Does following it help us love others?” 👉 “Have you ever heard someone use one of God’s laws in the wrong way—maybe adding to it or twisting it?” Want to join the impact?
