Series: Gospel of Mark

Who provides your bread? In Mark chapter 6, Mark tells us that sometimes God provides enough bread to last the day, sometimes he provides more than enough, and sometimes he calls upon you to be bread for the world. But in all things, God sees your plight, runs to you, and reveals his glory. Will we forget about the bread?

A Look at Mark chapter 5, where Jesus heals a man possessed by “Legion”, followed by an older woman and a young girl.

We take a look at Mark chapters 3 and 4. Who makes up Jesus’ family? What is a parable? How does God break open our world?

We look at the controversy stories in Mark 2:1-3:6 to discover a God who, in Christ, radically forgives, and a Christ who, following the Spirit, reframes how we read the law and how we see our God.

We dive into Mark chapter 1, beginning with an announcement that would get you killed! Daring to claim the good news is that another king has arrived; the good news is not about Caesar, but Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Picture a lion. Wild. Untamed. Not safe. But fast, strong, and in charge. This is Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. This is the kingdom of God in strange and mysterious ways. Mark portrays Jesus and His kingdom memorably. Will we follow Jesus to the cross, declaring God to be Lord of all? Will we enter the wild kingdom? Welcome to our series Jesus Christ and the Mysterious Kingdom of Suffering Servants. This introductory lesson shares the background to the Gospel of Mark and provides a run-through of Mark’s highlighted points.
