Mark

The Gospel according to Mark is the shortest of the four biblical Gospels and moves with the fastest pace. Picking up a theme from Isaiah, the book consistently presents Jesus as the servant. Jesus described His ministry by saying, “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for man” (Mark 10:45, ESV). Yet this humble portrait of Jesus is set in contrast to His authority, especially His authority over the demons. This seeming contradiction brings out the third theme of this gospel: amazement. Jesus constantly astonishes people with His teaching and acts. Some respond with faith while others reject Him. The book leaves us with the same choice. How will we respond to the amazing news that the authoritative Servant has died and risen from the grave? This is the question we must wrestle with. And as we respond in faith, we’re called to take up our own cross and serve the ultimate Servant, the One who laid down His life for us.

 

Church-Wide Sunday School Bible Study:

Old Testament Survey

In Sunday school we are now doing a research and study on the Old Testament in the form of an Old Testament Survey class. Ever wonder where we got our English Bible? How about all the main doctrines we now espouse to be God’s Truth? Where did they come from? What is the difference between historical, poetical, and prophetical books in the Bible? What are the main themes and key verses in each of the sixty-six books we have in our Bibles today? Is it true that Christ can be seen in every book of the Bible? What are the timelines of the various kings, judges, prophets, and notable events that are depicted in the Bible and across history? Come and join us for this exciting review of the Old Testament each Sunday morning.
