28: Jesus Walks on Water

Gospel writer Mark is showing, rather than telling. He wants you to see something clearly about Jesus BEFORE he tells you about the crucifixion and resurrection. Have you seen it? Do you understand?

27: Why Jesus Feeds 5000

If there's one thing we've learned in this Mark study, it's that Jesus does weird things. 

The disciples had a crisis on their hands, and they couldn't even imagine what Jesus was about to do next. Sometimes it is good for us to not just ask "what" does Jesus do, but "why" does he do the weird thing?

When Jesus Waits

Practices of Jesus, Part 3

Building The Kingdom

Jesus' main topic is "The Kingdom of God." He talks about it all the time. But do we understand it? Do we know what the Kingdom really is, and are we part of building it?

Why I Don't Tithe

There really seems to be a lot of confusion around the idea of tithing. In fact, there is really a lot of manipulation and guilt in church when it comes to that topic. So, what is really the Biblical case for tithing?
