'Breakthrough'

As Jesus journeyed through villages, along lakesides, and down dusty roads, his life intersected with the lives of a variety of people, many who had experienced oppression, neglect, sickness, prejudice, and/or pain. And in story after story, the gospel writers portray encounters with Jesus that tear down walls of prejudice, offer release from bondage, provide loving attention to the forgotten, and give healing to the sick. Each encounter resulted in a breakthrough -- a chance to move beyond the present situation into a life-changing experience with the healing grace and love of God.

We will examine six themes as we seek to understand the breakthrough that Jesus brings. All of the stories come from either the gospel of Mark or Luke.
