In the lesson, given in the special class on Wednesday morning, Marc gives comfort by explaining the process of mourning, and giving the child of God help in dealing with the grief one experiences at the loss of loved ones.

Sermon by Marc Smith.

In this lesson, Marc uses Mark 2, and the phrase from the KJV indicating that the paralytic man was carried by four men to see Jesus. The phrase is used to illustrate the point that each of us have those who have borne, or influenced us in our lives. Saul of Tarsis is a good example, and four men are mentioned: Gamaliel, Stephen, Annanias and Barnabas who had a profound influence upon him and his conversion to Christ.

In preparation for the upcoming Gospel Meeting, the sermon shows through scripture how that these efforts to share the gospel of Christ remain relevant in our time.
