  1. Step By Step Through the New Testament Lesson 11 Mark: Important Events & Issues • Rev. Christopher J. Respass • Antioch Bible Institute • Fall 2013

  2. Mark: Important Events & Issues • Jesus Feeds 5000 (Mark 6:30-44) • A. There is always a need for rest in ministry because the demand of the people will always be there (v.31). • B. Compassion is often the impetus for God’s intervention (v.34). • C. “Resources” are needed for ministry, but God is always the original “source” (v. 38, 41).

  3. Mark: Important Events & Issues • D. Jesus exercised his power over natural objects.

  4. Mark: Important Events & Issues • God’s Will or Man’s Tradition (Mark 7:1-23). • A. Many people leave the commandment of God to hold on to the tradition of men (v.8). • Name some “traditions of men” that Christians hold on to in the church.

  5. Mark: Important Events & Issues • B. Corban (v.9-13)—process of declaring gifts to the service of God. • C. Spiritual defilement comes from the heart not from food (v.19-23).

  6. Mark: Important Events & Issues • The Young Rich Ruler (Mark. 10:17-23). • Q: Why didn’t the young ruler want to sell all of his belongings? • Q: What issue had the young ruler not addressed in his life (see, Exod. 20:17)? • Q: How was the young ruler self-deceived?

  7. Mark: Important Events & Issues • Q: Greed and covetousness hindered the young ruler’s relationship with God. Is it hindering yours? Are other concerns hindering that relationship? • Q: Why is our “goodness” incapable of saving us (v.18)?

  8. Mark: Important Events & Issues • Genuine Greatness (Mark 10:35-45). • Q: What was the issue in this text? • Q: What does it mean to be “great” in Christian culture?

  9. Mark: Important Events & Issues • “Christians [are] not to show greatness by flaunting their authority over others. Genuine greatness [comes] from demonstrating love through serving others. A Christian becomes great by serving others, not exercising power.” • --Thomas Lea & Tom Hudson • Step by Step Through the N.T., p. 70
