JEFF'S MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY

No one in the Bible spoke more about hell than Jesus did, using graphic language to describe it. That's because He loves us, and doesn't want anyone to go there. In the final verses of Mark 9, we'll consider the words of Jesus about sin and hell, in a message titled, "A Very Serious Warning."

Who is the greatest of all-time?  That's a popular question when it come to athletes, actors, and singers.  But who was the greatest disciple of all-time?  Believe it or not, the disciples were arguing over that very question - which one of THEM would be greatest in the kingdom of heaven!  Let's see how Jesus dealt with their pride, and ours as well, in this  message from Mark 9.

Have you ever found yourself under spiritual attack soon after experiencing a huge spiritual blessing?  It's not uncommon in the life of the believer.  Often times, it's an attack from the enemy.  After the miracle and the marvel of the transfiguration, Jesus and 3 disciples came back down the mountain to face demonic warfare.  In this podcast message, titled "Back to Reality", we'll learn some lessons to help us in the same types of battles.  

The transfiguration!  What a marvelous and miraculous event that was.  Not to mention that Moses and Elijah were there!  What does it mean?  Why was Jesus transfigured?  Let's find out together in this message from Mark 9, titled "Holy Ground."  

In the last 5 verses of Mark 8, we find a pinnacle of teaching from Jesus - about what it truly means to follow Him.  What Jesus shares is not a watered down  message of religion, but rather, the call to true salvation and discipleship.  Tune in and hear that, while the gospel costs us nothing, it requires everything from us.  

Watching the Super Bowl, we saw the commercials for the "He Gets You" movement.  The Bible tells us that God indeed gets us, but coming to Mark 8, we find that the greater question is, "Do We Get Him?".   Let's explore this important topic together in this podcast Bible study.

Those are so many cherished characteristics of Jesus - His holiness, love, grace, and mercy to name a few.  In this podcast message, we'll focus in on the compassion of Jesus.  In the gospels, we find many instances of Jesus acting in compassion, but here in Mark 8, we find the only instance in which He states, "I have compassion."  What led Him to say that, and what did He do as a result?  Let's find out together as we study God's Word!

In this Podcast Bible study, join me in Mark 7 as we encounter a helpless woman and a hopeless man.  She with a demon-possessed daughter, he being unable to hear or speak.  Both were Gentiles, and both had a life-changing encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ!   

Pastor Warren Wiersbe often said, "The heart of the problem is the problem with the heart."  He was right, and we'll see this truth come to light in this message from Mark 7, titled "Matters of the Heart."  Let's study God's Word together and discover why the heart is the center of everything we do.  

It's been well said that we can learn lessons from both good and bad examples.  In this podcast message, we'll take a closer look at the ongoing clash between the unsaved religious leaders and their man-made traditions, in contrast to the genuine teaching of God.  The bad example of those unsaved leaders helps us to focus in on a genuine relationship with Christ!  Join us for this podcast message in Mark 7.
