31. The Healing of the Possessed Boy
When Jesus comes down from the mount of transfiguration with the three inner circle disciples, He comes across an issue involving a possessed boy. How He deals with it has some importance lessons for us.
Studies in Mark
30. The Transfiguration
Six days after the important prophecy given by Jesus in Verse 1, Mark records a remarkable event. This is known as The Transfiguration.
29. The Coming of the Kingdom with Power
In this study I am going to look at one verse. I am going to use this one difficult verse as an exercise in how to interpret scripture properly.
28. Taking up the Cross
At the end of the last study we saw that the disciples finally understood that Jesus is the Christ. But as we will see in this study, they don't understand what it means to be the Messiah and what that entails.
27. The Blind Man and Peter's Confession
At the end of the last study, we saw that the disciples still didn't understand who Jesus really was. But by the end of today's passage, the disciples finally get it. And before that happens, Jesus heals a blind man in two stages.
26. The Feeding of the Four Thousand
As on a previous occasion Jesus finds Himself confronted by a large hungry crowd.
25. The Healing of the Deaf Mute
In today's passage we see Jesus setting a man free from bondage. We are all born into bondage or slavery but through faith in Jesus we can be set free too.
24. The Syro-Phoenician Woman
In this study we see Jesus having an encounter with a pagan woman. We also have a verse in this passage that has caused some controversy. I am talking about verse 27.
23. Traditions and Defilement
In the last study we saw Jesus rejecting the traditions of men. And in this study, we see this issue continuing in the first part of the passage but with a different type of tradition. Then in the second part of the passage we see Jesus make an important pronouncement about defilement.
22. The Traditions of Men
In this study we come back to an ongoing issue for Jesus; His conflict with the religious leaders. In this study we are going to learn something that is very important for us as Christians.
