Introduction
We learn best by following, observing, trying, being coached and corrected, and then being deployed to carry on the ministry.
Ended last week with Jesus appoint 12 disciples/apostles.
Two themes - growing opposition to Jesus, and Jesus equipping His disciples.
Big Idea: A follower of Jesus observes and emulates His ministry to learn from and become like Him.
Kingdom Power and Authority
Kingdom Power and Authority: Bind the strong man
In His home, crowds, family saying He is out of His mind, then Scribes from Jerusalem...
responding to blasphemous accusation that Jesus’s power comes from satan.
Jesus teaches a kingdom and a house divided against itself will not stand.

Bind the strong man and plunder his house – Jesus on enemy territory binding satan and plundering.
Reclaiming, recovering, restoring.

Starting with defeating the temptation in the wilderness, then casting out demons
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not forgiven.
The Kingdom Message Grows
At we start seeing Jesus teach in parables and word pictures.
We covered the parables in detail last year so will only highlight the flow of ministry beyond the parables.
Most of the parables are contained in chapter 4.
Read
parable of sower and seeds and soils.
Tie this in with purpose of parables and give a little more detail since it is one Jesus explained and really fits with receiving God’s Word.
Producing crop/fruit.
Producing crop/fruit.
highlight the purpose of parables in 4:10-12 Jesus explains for the 12.
v.13 Parable of sower is foundational to understanding because it explains responses to the Gospel – the Kingdom message
Explanation = Fourth soil – good soil, receives message, grows.
Goes with
v.21 Lamp under basket – let others see God’s work in you. the more you do the more will be given.
faithful service
4:26 seed growing – mysterious in how it grows
4:30 mustard seed – starts small and grows out sprawling
v.34 privately He explained everything to his own disciples
The message of the Kingdom takes root, grows, produces fruit.
Experiencing Ministry
Running through chapters 4-8.
4:35 Jesus calms the storm.
They leave the crowd, boat to the other side, face a storm.
v.40 Why are you afraid?
Do you still have no faith?
5:1 Gerasenes, man with demon legion, pigs.
skip to chapter 6
6:1 returns to Nazareth.
Unbelief in the hometown.
family offended at Him.
Time to practice.
To put into practice what they have been learning and observing.
Read Mark 6:7-13
6:7-13 deployed the disciples 2x2.
Authority over unclean spirits.
Proclaimed repentance, cast out demons, healed sick.
6:30 Jesus feeds 5000.
You give them something to eat.
You give them something to eat.
We see the disciples serving the people and collecting the leftovers.
Jesus multiplied the food.
Immediately they get in the boat and go off to the other side.
Jesus goes to pray.
6:45 walk on water Jesus goes off to pray, sees the boat having trouble, walks out to them.
– their hearts were hardened.
Still stubborn and not yet receiving the full teaching
– their hearts were hardened.
Still stubborn and not yet fully receiving the teaching
6:53 healing sick in Gennesaret
Chapter 7 - in Gennesaret on the west coast of Sea of Galilee along the route around the lake.
7:1 approached by Pharisees and scribes who address ritually unclean hands.
Jesus responds by addressing their habit of holding traditions of man higher than the word of God.
The rules and traditions of man do not save, do not purify, do not make you holy or right with God.
The rules of man do not save, do not purify, do not make you holy or right with God.
Jesus gives them a clear example of how they nullify God’s word with their traditions.
7:14 related to above – what comes out of a man is what defiles him, not what goes in.

Jesus asked if they don’t yet understand that they don’t have to worry about bread.
He is the bread of life.
Jesus asked if they don’t yet understand that they don’t have to worry about bread.
He is the bread of life.
(not condemning questions, but drawing conclusion and connecting the dots)
Mark finishes in 8:22 with story that illustrates the disciples blindness.
8:22 heals a blind man, first time not yet clear.
Very similar to the disciples who are learning to see but not clearly yet.
The next section is a turning point.
We’ll pick up here in two weeks.
