The Common Sense Gospel

Welcome back to More About Jesus! This is our 50th episode and we are excited to be in the gospel of Mark. Jesus will feed 4,000 people with seven loaves of bread, dispute with the Pharisees about a sign from heaven, and give a stern warning to His disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod.

This is the beginning of Season 10, "The God Who Is"!!! Danny and Kurt will be looking at the names of God in this episode, and then they'll move into the names of Jesus as they are seen in John's gospel. He says, "I Am" seven different times with seven different names. Each one is very important, and we will be well served to study those names together.

In this episode, we will watch the Syro-Phoenician woman come to Jesus in great faith and ask Him for His help. Jesus will also heal a man who is deaf and mute in a very unique and different way.

We will spend our time this week looking at Mark's gospel as a whole. Simply stated, Marks gospel is written out to confirm the first verse in the book. "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Mark 1:1

The scribes and the Pharisees came to Him and said, "Hey, Your disciples didn't wash their hands before they ate bread! Why do they not walk according to the tradition of the elders?"

Let's listen to Jesus answer their question and let's hear what God thinks of all of this.

The disciples have already graduated from Storms 101 in Mark 4, but today they will take their second course in storms. Storms 102! We will learn more about Jesus and the apostles who are with Him in this wonderful reading of Mark 6:45-56

Psalm 100:3 says, "Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture." In the New Testament, the church is the Lord’s flock, and He calls qualified men to shepherd and guide each local congregation. In this episode, Danny and Yell will talk about this work and what it means for the men who serve as elders.

"A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house." Mark 6:4 - We have seen people from all over the land honoring Jesus and worshipping Him, but not in Galilee. In our reading today, Jesus will be rejected by His own.

Our study today comes from Hebrews 10:24-25 "Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works..."

We have seen the woman who was stricken with a 12 year blood flow being healed by Jesus with a touch of faith. What about Jairus? It took too long to get to his house and now his daughter is dead. Who will help Jairus now?
