On July 2, 1972, in Richmond, Virginia, Brother Stephen delivered a ministry emphasizing the importance of belonging to the family of God, cleansed by Christ's blood. He encouraged the congregation to seek a deeper knowledge of Jesus through the Gospels, highlighting that while there are four accounts, they collectively present one Gospel of Jesus Christ. Stephen introduced the Gospel of Mark, focusing on Mark's background and spiritual journey. He noted that Mark, raised in a Christian environment by his mother Mary, showed early spiritual potential but struggled with discipline and hardship. Mark's departure from Paul and Barnabas during their mission was seen as a failure to endure challenges. However, through God's grace and the mentorship of figures like Barnabas and Peter, Mark was restored and eventually became a significant contributor to the early church, even writing the first Gospel. Stephen concluded by stressing that to effectively present Christ, one must first be molded and transformed by God, becoming a vessel fit for His service.
