Mark 7:31-35. Many are in need of emotional healing. They have shut down and closed themselves off from meaningful interaction with others. The Pandemic is partly to blame but there are also other factors at play. There’s healing power in the touch of Jesus, and also in the human touch of God’s people. In this […]
