Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” And He continued by questioning them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter…

And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’ Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”…

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”                                                                                                                 Mark 6:49-50 The…

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”                                                                                                                         Mark 6:4  It’s a topic that’s not easy for some to think or talk about, but it is all too real for many Christians; being in…

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”                                                                                                                         Mark 5:34  It really is two stories in one. Jesus swarmed by a crowd of people. A man named Jairus seizes the opportunity to speak to Jesus on behalf…

“And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”                                                                                                             …

“These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.”                                                                                                                          Mark 4:15 In the parable of the sower, Jesus describes four different types of…

After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Mark 3:5 In…

And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”                                                                                                             Mark 2:5 I have to admit, this is one of my favorite accounts in all of scripture. It’s a story of friendship, faith, and forgiveness. It’s a story of five men, one…

Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”                                                                                                             Mark 1:14-15  I can’t think of a better way to begin this study of the…
