Have you ever felt like a lost cause, or know someone or something that seems like a lost cause? This sermon explores Mark 4:35-5:20 and how Jesus rescues a man who was the lost cause of his town. The curious part of the story is to see how the townspeople react to it. Are we willing to do whatever it takes, and no matter what it costs, to include everyone in the Good News?

and saw the demoniac

leave their
neighborhood.
