Part 1 | We Need Each Other

From Mark 3:7-21

📖 Philippians 2:5-8 ESV Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

📖 Mark 3:7-10 ESV Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea 8 and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that He was doing, they came to Him. 9 And he told His disciples to have a boat ready for Him because of the crowd, lest they crush Him, 10 for He had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around Him to touch Him.
