We explored the story of John Mark, based upon what is recorded in Acts 13 regarding his “retreat” from journeying with Barnabas and Saul. We looked at how Mark represents a person who may have failed but continued to remain in his relationship with the Lord. The courage to continue in his relationship is something we can learn from. We explored how Mark eventually went on to write the first gospel account, he went back out on journeys with Barnabas, supported Peter and was reconciled with Paul.
