In Mark chapter 6, we see Jesus move through rejection, miracles, exhaustion, and compassion — yet right in the middle of the chaos, He invites His disciples to pause and rest:

In this Bible study, we’ll walk through the powerful moments of this chapter — from Jesus being rejected in His hometown, to the sending of the Twelve, John the Baptist’s death, the feeding of the five thousand, and Jesus walking on water. Through it all, we’ll uncover what it means to truly rest in Him, even when life feels busy, uncertain, or overwhelming.

Let this time in Scripture remind you that Jesus not only calls us to serve, but also to slow down and find peace in His presence.

🌿 In this video, we’ll cover:

• Why Jesus was rejected in Nazareth
• The mission of the disciples
• What John the Baptist’s story reveals about faith and courage
• The miracle of the loaves and fishes
• How Jesus meets us in our storms
• The deeper meaning behind His invitation to rest

Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let’s rest in God’s Word together.

📖 Mark Chapter 4 takes us to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus begins teaching the crowds with parables—simple stories with deep spiritual truths. In this chapter, we hear the famous Parable of the Sower, learn how the gospel spreads like a lamp shining in the dark, and see how faith grows like seeds in good soil. Jesus shows that while many will only listen on the surface, those who truly seek will find understanding and forgiveness.

✨ In this video:
The Parable of the Sower explained
Why Jesus used parables to teach
How the gospel is meant to shine and grow
Jesus calms the storm and teaches about faith

Takeaway Question: What kind of “soil” is your heart—hard, shallow, distracted, or ready to grow?

📖 Mark Chapter 3 takes us deeper into Jesus’ ministry and the growing reactions to His authority. In this chapter, we see the Pharisees plot His death, massive crowds press in for healing, and demons recognize Him as the Son of God. Jesus appoints the twelve apostles, warns about the unforgivable sin, and redefines what it truly means to be part of His family.

✨ In this chapter:
Healing on the Sabbath
The twelve apostles are chosen
The unforgivable sin explained
Who is Jesus’ true family?

Takeaway Question: How does Mark 3 challenge the way you think about belonging to Jesus’ family?
