Conservative Friends Bible Study of Mark #06 Chapter 04 Verse 21 – Verse 41
Description
Henry begins this session with a review of the parable of the Sower and the meaning of “The Word”. He then goes on with the parable of the Lamp and explores the puzzle of “more will be given” and “more will be taken away”. The next parable studied is the seed growing into a plant. This opens into Christian growth and what it means to become "perfect". The final parable of this session is of the Mustard Seed. Henry then discusses the best translations of the New Testament and their historical implications. In this context, translating the word “servant” or “slave” is considered. The session concludes with the miracle of the calming of the storm and the multiple meanings of the word “faith”.
