“Who do you say that I am?" It's the question the whole Gospel of Mark drives toward answering about Jesus. In this 11-week Sunday morning study through Mark, we will read in order and in community. We'll follow the King who commands storms and demons as He walks the road to the cross, then work out together what it means to follow Him. Bring your Bible and a friend, or come alone and make some new ones.
What to Expect:
-
Preparation at home. Each week you'll read a chunk of Scripture on your own, observe carefully, and bring your questions with you. Class time assumes that work is done — it's what makes the rest possible.
-
Time to discuss what you found. We spend time at tables sharing observations and the questions your time in the Word raised, then share those themes and questions as a large group to address what you're discovering in God’s Word.
-
Focused teaching. We will address the core concepts and the difficult passages — the knots you can't untie on your own — rather than a general overview or lecture time.
-
Extended application with others. The heart of the class: at tables you'll work through what the passage calls us to believe, love, and do; how the gospel supplies both reason and power to obey; what obedience looks like this week; praying the text back to God together; and holding one another accountable. We close with the big idea, a challenge, and next week's passage.
