Have you ever felt like you’re sin keeps you on the outside with God, like you don’t really belong or can’t come close?

In this Follow Me message from Mark 1:40–45, Pastor Steve Van Denend talks about that quiet inner sense that something is “off” in you, and how the Bible names that as being “unclean.” Through the story of the man with leprosy, you’ll see how Jesus steps toward someone who’s been labeled, pushed out, and cut off—and makes him clean, not just better. If you’ve been feeling distant from God, this message will help you see what it means to be made clean, worthy, and welcomed because of what Jesus has already done for you.
