Mark 11:27 – 12:12
Have you ever heard the phrase that Jesus is the cornerstone and wondered where it came from? We find out what that means in this chapter. Jesus came back into the temple in Jerusalem and the Pharisees keep trying to trick Him with questions and challenge His authority. After stumping them with the question if…

Mark 11:1-25
Hosanna! We have reached the part in Mark where he begins to account for the events of Passion week. We start off with the story we are all familiar with of the triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a young donkey. While this may seem insignificant, the choice of the donkey is incredibly important to the…

Mark 10:17-31
All things are possible with God. Do you always believe that? The man in the story we read today was not willing to find out. He was a man of great possessions and wealth per Mark’s account. He had followed all the other commandments. Just as he was taught to do. But the one thing…

Mark 10: 1-16
I know I got behind and skipped over giving my commentary on the last few readings in chapters 8 and 9, but I wanted to spend some extra time on today’s reading as it is an issue that affects every married person (or those that are not yet married). As we begin chapter 10, Jesus…

Mark 8 – 9
Unfortunately, life has been pretty crazy around here, so I apologize I am behind in my postings. In order to catch up, I am going to post a few links to articles or sermons to help us catch back up. Most are short, so I hope you take time to read them. Mark 8:1-21 Mark…

Mark 7:24-37
The story of the Syrophoenician woman is one that I needed more context to understand because, at first reading, it does not seem to be any different than Jesus’ previous healings, but the verbal exchange between the woman and Jesus is confusing without context. We first need to understand who all lived in the Tyre…

Mark 7:1-23
As I have in the past, I am going to share with you an article (in this case a sermon) again by Jeff Stott. It is a challenging sermon and one that will make you think. Jeff talks about this section so much better than I can. I hope you get out of it as…

Mark 6:45-56
Jesus has just finished feeding the 5,000+, and if you remember, Jesus originally was sending the disciples across the sea to find rest after all their mission work. So, after all the people were fed and they picked up all the remaining bread and fish, Jesus sends the disciples back out on the boat to…

Mark 6:30-44
Chapter 6 is packed with well know stories, but this story is probably one that even a non-Christian has heard before. The story of how Jesus fed the 5,000 with only two fish and five loaves of bread is one that is in all four gospels and shows us many characteristics of Jesus. First, it…

Mark 6:7-29
We begin this part of the chapter with Jesus sending out the twelve. After Jesus left Nazareth, where he was rejected by his own town, he continues teaching and at some point decides to send his twelve disciples out two by two to continue to spread the word and remove unclean spirits. Mark tells us…
