Bartimaeus

Christian Life Assembly

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Shane Wilson • 2 Corinthians 5:7, Psalm 34:18, Luke 18:34–43

We are spending some time looking at real lives…real people…who had real face to face “encounters” with Jesus!

One moment…in the presence of Jesus…one “encounter” with Jesus changes everything!

This week - Bartimaeus, a blind man that could see!

Two brothers had quite different encounters with Jesus, but both ended up being His close disciples and sharing the Gospel around the world.

Saul was Israel's first king-- appointed by God to lead. Sadly, he's remembered more for his failures than anything else.

Mark was a man who had a complicated history with the Apostle Paul, but God used him mightily to share the Gospel and even to write one!
