Jesus offers you a feast in His presence, so do not settle for anything less.

 We will look at the high priority that Jesus gave to prayer in his ministry to be encouraged in the ongoing provision and practice of prayer in our own life.

In Mark 5:1-20 the gospel of the Kingdom of God confronts and conquers the demons who had possessed the Gerasene man. There were three responses to this confrontation. The demons told the truth about who Jesus was, many in the area were repelled by Jesus, however, and responded in fear, in favor of the status quo but the former demoniac responded in faith and confessed him to all who would listen.

In contrast to the disobedience of Israel, Jesus is the one who prevailed in his probation keeping righteousness; he is called, he is proved, he is obedient. 

Mark 10:13-52 presents four ways by which one might seek to enter the kingdom. Jesus instructs us to enter the kingdom as a child and as a blind man, but not as the rich or powerful.

It has been said that fear and pride are the opposite sides of the same coin. 

Because Christ, the Son of Man, paralyzed sin and death for us, we must continue to trust him and bring others to his feet.

Jesus teaches us important truths about how we must enter the kingdom of God, truths that his disciples had failed to grasp.

Obsessed with success and power, the disciples are confronted with Jesus' radical definition of greatness.

 The story of Jesus healing the blind man (in Mark 8) is surprising in many ways. It is also revealing how difficult it is to see Jesus clearly.

Dr. W. Robert Godfrey exhorts from Mark 10 in the opening chapel of the spring 2015 semester. 

Office Hours talks with Dr. S. M. Baugh about the Lord's Prayer in its first century context, and its continued use in the church and by individual Christians today. This is part one.

Mark challenges many of the purveying views as to who Jesus was by showing that someone greater than all of the Old Testament institutions was present.

Mark tries to get us from partial to full sight in order to see Jesus more clearly.

In the Gospel of Mark, the account of Jesus' feeding of the five thousand is replete with Old Testament imagery taken from the Exodus.

The Kingdom of God arrived in the person of Jesus freeing his people from the bondage of the powers of darkness.

That his friends and his disciples rejected him reflects the utter and complete humiliation of the Son of God.
