Mark 6:53-7:23 The Heart of the Matter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Introduction: Jesus has crossed the sea again, this time walking, having just fed the 5,000. Jesus is 1 year away from the cross. Even as you hear of his fame, we are also nearing his biggest rejections, starting with the Pharisees who desire to kill him.

Mark 6:45-52 Jesus Walks on Water (opens the original)
Read excerpt

And often what that bond is will determine the strength of community and what makes the bonds also establishes what
Mark 6:7-29: The Gospel Offered, Rejected, and A Darkened Conscience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Introduction: Mark’s gospel has been asking, “ will you believe, will you believe the message of Jesus, who he is, and repent and believe the gospel?” OR “will your FEAR, or UNBELIEF, cause you to Reject Jesus like his hometown? Mark has just finished showing this rejection we next get two more stories wrestling with Jesus’ response to rejection, his instruction to the disciples to like him be faithful in preaching the gospel so long as anyone will give an audience to it, but then we get rising
