When Jesus walked on the water it had enormous significance for the 12 disciples and for us today.
In this study we return to the missionary outreach that Jesus sent the disciples on earlier in the chapter. But as soon as they get back, the disciples and Jesus are faced with a huge crowd chasing after them.
In the last study we began looking at Mark's text about the beheading of John the Baptist. On that occasion we looked at verses 14 to 18 of chapter 6. In the verses that we are looking at today, we will see what led to John being beheaded.
Mark interrupts the mission that the twelve disciples were sent on to tell us about the beheading of John the Baptist
In this passage we see the twelve disciples sent out on a mission by Jesus.
In this passage we see astonishment by the people and astonishment by Jesus but for different reasons.
In this passage we see the power of Jesus over sickness and death, two healings involving touch and we have two lost causes.
In this story we see a man tormented by the forces of Hell bringing chaos to his life and we see Jesus conquering those forces and restoring order
This story contains three themes: extremes, rebukes and faith versus fear. It also contains another example of Jesus' authority.
In this study I will be looking at three parables spoken by Jesus about the Kingdom of God and I will explain what they mean.
