Lesson 7 - The One Who Is the Good TeacherMark 10:1-45. Baited by Pharisees who wanted to arrest Him, questioned by an eager young man who wanted easy answers, and faced with disciples who wanted to realize their own ambitions — Jesus showed Himself to be an incredible teacher. He fearlessly challenged false assumptions. He revealed the true nature of God’s kingdom and set a perfect example for His disciples to follow. But most of all, He told His students the truth. It may have made them uncomfortable — but it also made them what they needed to be.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 6 - The One Who Came to SufferMark 8:27-9:47. Truly the turning point of Mark’s Gospel, the question Christ posed in Mark 8:29 — “Who do you say I am?” — altered the disciples’ journey. Peter’s glorious confession — “You are the Messiah” — led to the sobering call to follow that Messiah to their own cross of sacrifice and death. Glimpses of glory on the mountain were eclipsed by jealous arguing among the disciples. And they were left to consider Christ’s serious warning that if not dealt with, pride and selfish ambition could ruin many.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 5 - The One to Bless All the NationsMark 7 and 8 are full of challenges. Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ ideas about defilement and uncleanness, drawing attention to the heart instead of outward show. He challenged the disciples’ ideas by taking them into Gentile territory and doing mighty works there — healing a demon-possessed girl, a deaf/mute and a blind man. He fed 4,000 with just a few loaves of bread. And then He called His own hard-of-hearing, not-quite-seeing disciples apart to do the same for them …To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 4 - The One Who Shepherds His PeopleMark 6:7-56. Things were speeding up in Christ’s ministry; and the disciples were plunged into a steep learning curve in this week’s lesson. Thankfully, their teacher was called The Good Shepherd, because things got hard very fast. Their first mission went well; but then they were challenged by the needs of a hungry multitude and another violent storm on the sea — this time without their Master in their boat! How would they respond to the lessons they were given? With belief or unbelief?To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Lesson 3 - The One Who has the VictoryMark 4:35 – 6:6. This lesson pictures the complete victory Jesus offers us. He rules over nature, over demons, even over death itself. He is Lord over all. But Mark reminds us it’s also about what do we do with the claims of Christ. We can accept them like Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood, receiving what He promises and more. Or we can reject them like the Gerasenes and the people of Nazareth and miss out on everything. As always, we get to choose.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visithttps://intheword.com
Lesson 2 - The One Who is Lord of All Mark 2:13 – 4:25. Mark continues recounting the miracles, the confrontations and the teachings of Jesus as His ministry spreads and grows. The Pharisees move front and center in this lesson, angry at Christ’s association with “sinners” and His total disregard of their rules and traditions, especially regarding the Sabbath. Christ openly challenges their stubbornness and pride, ending with a warning about the need to listen carefully to what He says, because everything hangs in the balance.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visithttps://intheword.com
Lesson 1 - The One with Authority to Forgive Sins Mark 1:1-2:12. Mark’s fast-paced Gospel about the life and ministry of Jesus makes a point of recording how people reacted to Him.

Mark’s Gospel will certainly challenge our own understanding of who we believe Jesus is!To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
