Mark 2:13-17 - Jesus Loves Sinners

Speaker: Kurt Trucksess Series: Mark - The King And The Cross Topic: Sunday Morning Teaching Passage: Mark 2:13–17

As we continue our way through the Gospel of Mark, we find Jesus choosing a heinous tax collector that repented of his sins to be part of his inner circle.
