Mark 4:35-41

The  ability to calm a storm, commanding the elements, leaves the disciples asking who Jesus could be.

The Mystery of Jesus & His Kingdom

 Jesus explains the mystery of the miraculous unveiling and growth of the Kingdom with three parables.

The Purpose of the Parables

Mark 4:1-20

 

The parables show something of who Jesus was, without fully opening the eyes of a crowd who don't get who He is.

 

[1-2] The priority of teaching

[3-9] The parable that explains their reality

[10-20] The purpose of the parables

Who is Jesus?

Mark 3:20-35

 

Jesus is being misunderstood and the work of the Spirit misrepresented, even by His family. He was the Son of God, not a lunatic or demon possessed.

Victory

[1-7] The desire of the Son

[8-13] The prayer of the saints

Made Alive in Christ

Through Jesus' resurrection, we who were dead in sin have been made alive in Him.

Matthew 28:1-10 & Ephesians 2:1-10

Returning to God's promises

Ruth 1

Dead Religion

Mark 3:1-6

 

[1-2] The Pharisees had an unhealthy distraction

[3-5] The Pharisees had hard hearts

[6] The Pharisees had a blinding anger

Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath

Mark 2:23-28

 

Jesus comes not just to make us rest but to gift us rest - we can stop performing and pretending and put our faith in His work.
