Jan 23rd -- Mark - Presenting the Person, Work, and Teachings of Christ

Wow! Mark will be a great study to help us to WAJD. Mark gained most of his knowledge while accompanying the Apostle Paul on his missionary journey. What a study opportunity (for Mark) to hang-with Paul. Most believe that Mark is the earliest written Gospel (around 55AD). Very recent findings are supposing that the real date may be even closer to 40AD.

Key Point: Jesus "Son of Man" and "Son of God"
Jesus - The example of "Servanthood"

If we are to WAJD then we must surely have a Servants Heart, and therefore a Servants Attitude, and therefore Servant Actions.....a servant is selfless, humble, and available to serve....and in Jesus sake...to even die.

Oh boy...dieing? Dieing to self is hard. But if we don't, we are already dead (Faith without works is _______).

In Mark, Jesus is clearly a man of power and action, not just words. Jesus did miracles to convince the people who he was and to teach the disciples his true identity as God.

Blogger's please share your thoughts on Mark and what you would desire to get out of this Book of the Gospel.

Jan 1st: Happy New Year!

Hello all!

Yes, it has been quite awhile. Just checking-in to see if anyone is interested in continuing our study of God's word together, keeping in touch, and Walking as Jesus Did?

We are finally moved-in and getting settled. I would love to know how everyone is doing. We had a wonderful visit from our friends (family) in Ontario. The Price's and Olson's vistited over the break and it was great fun!

Let's talk about this New Year and your expectations, and then we will look at the Book of Mark.

Love,
