Love On Another

Jesus said they will know my disciples by their love for one another. Yet so often the church is seen as judgemental, gossipy, and unwelcoming.

But let us explore why people react the way they do, and whether or not we maybe need to change how we approach our unbelieving friends and family, as we continue our series through the gospel of Mark.
