Mark 6:45-53
Introduction
As we continue our study in the Gospel of Mark, there is a lot to see in
this passage. This passage is parallel passage of the one recorded in
Matthew, however Mark doesn’t bring up the fact that Peter walked on
water. It was an amazing thing that happened, however, it was not the be
the focal point of this account. In other words, there are other lessons
that can be learned from this passage, more than the fact that Peter
walked on the water!

Mark 6:54-56
Introduction
The Gospel of Mark is action packed. We go from one episode, straight
into another. There is a such an amazing portrait of the Saviour written
by Mark. Jesus is portrayed as the great servant, going from one place
to another in full ministry mode.
As a waitress would go from table to table, and serve people, Jesus
travels from town to town serving people everywhere he goes. Serving
complete strangers, family, the disciples, everyone he meets, he desires
to serve them. It is quite amazing to see Jesus in that light, also
knowing and realizing He is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords…
Jesus, in great humility serves!

The Transfiguration of Christ
#
Mark 9:1-13
Introduction
There is a continuity here in the Gospel of Mark that we have stumbled across. It started with the Blind man seeing men as trees after Jesus touched him the first time. We equated that to many things we do not understand here in our life time. But soon after, he was touched again, and made completely whole! The very next section Jesus is asking his disciples who do men say that I am….. Jesus makes it very clear to his disciples that He is the Christ, the Messiah. They of course said that about him as well. But they didn’t fully understand the implications of that.

Growing in Faith
#
Mark 9:14-29
Introduction
We have been following the life of Christ, and specifically his interactions with the disciples. We have dealt a lot with the certainty he made clear to the disciples about the fact that He (Jesus) is God. The Transfiguration was a very clear revelation to Peter, James and John the inner circle, those disciples that were perhaps closer to Jesus than others.

God’s Family Plan
#
Mark 10:1-16
Introduction
I have titled the message God’s Family Plan, not because God is specifically outlining the idea for a family, but the entirety of this passage, is so necessary for Family matters, that I have dubbed it, God’s Family Plan. We literally have three separate instances that are back to back that I have stitched together for one message to help families.

Earthly Riches over Eternal Riches
#
Mark 10:17-27

The greatest problem in America, is her wealth. God has blessed our nation, and we thank our veterans for their service, that have bought our freedom! God has blessed our nation, because they have were founded on Bible Principles! Because they were founded on Bible principles, they have backed Israel! God has blessed our country because of those two things!

A Psalm of Remembrance
#
Psalm 106:1-5
We have an extensive Psalm before us. There is simply no way to cover all of it. There is an extensive amount of history in this Psalm. We encourage you to read the Bible, so you can be familiar Israel, and history, and the major events of the Old Testament.
Illustration:
Have you ever saw a situation where a woman stays with a man that is abusive, and wonder why does she stay with him??! Much like God stays with us, though we are certainly undeserving.

Mark 10:28-45
Introduction
We are going to cover down through verse 45, but let’s look at this passage. This passage takes place right after the young rich man had asked what he could do to inherit eternal life. We looked at that last week, and recognized the man did not see himself as a sinner in need of salvation, but was simply seeking to add to his riches, eternal life. Right after that whole discussion, Peter; never one to let a quite moment pass without interjecting something, says, “Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.”

A Psalmist Plea
#
Psalm 109:1-5
Introduction
We are back to a Psalm, in which the Psalmist has a problem, and makes a request to God. This is a fairly easy and straight forward Psalm. Our outline is simple tonight, and yet there is much to be learned, and gained from this Psalm. We will only have time for a few places in which we can draw application tonight. There is certainly much more that could be drawn from this Psalm.
