    Jesus The Controversialist Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023
     | 2,121 views

    Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

    A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

     | 3,279 views

    The disciples spent an amazing amount of time with Jesus and would have had many opportunities for them to ask him to teach them something. And of all the amazing things they could have asked Jesus to teach them, only one thing is recorded: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1).

    Imagine with me for a moment that you’re one of Jesus’ disciples. You’ve been following him around for a little while now and you’ve seen him do some pretty incredible things…you’ve seen him heal crippled people, you’ve seen him cast out demons, you even saw him speak life into a dead guy. You’ve ...read more
