Jesus: His Call for Repentance!

Mark 6-8 – Bible Reading 6:1-29

 

Mark shows us:

Who rejects Jesus 

Who Jesus calls

 

Mark warns us:

Being part of God’s Kingdom begins with repentance

And calling for repentance will meet with rejection

Jesus: Just Believe?

Mark 5:21-43

 

Two examples of people learning to trust/believe …

 

A father who learned to trust Jesus’ power to give life to the dead

 

A woman who trusted Jesus to give peace when she was in despair

 

Mark challenges us to believe in Jesus too!

Jesus: Can You Trust His Authority?

Mark 4:35-5:20

 

What do you fear the most?

 

Mark shows us that Jesus has authority over EVERYTHING, including: 

–       outward storms (4:35-41)

–       inward storms (5:1-20)

–       and even death itself

 

…which leads people to fear him! 
                               (4:41, 5:15, 5:33, 5:42)

  

What would you do if you saw God?

(Preacher: Steve Young)

Jesus: Are You Listening to Him?

Mark 4:1-34 (Reading 4:1-20)

 

 Have you heard this parable before? 

 

                        …be careful not to switch off! (vv. 3, 9)

 

Here’s how…

1: Lean into Jesus (v. 10)

2: Grow in Jesus (v. 20)

3: Don’t expect spiritual realities to be simple… (v. 11)

4: Be assured that God changes hearts! (vv. 26-29)

(Preacher: Steve Young)
