MARK’S GOSPELTHE SIMPLICITY AND POWER OF JESUS

FAITH…CENTRAL TO LIFE WITH JESUS

OrA Road Map For Training In A

Life Of Faith

Mark 6:1-56

Introduction

We are told of Jesus being in amazement over only one issue in the Gospels…that is the issue regarding ________________.

Introduction

What is faith?

It is an absolute confidence in God’s Word, character, and promises that is evidenced in our worldview and actions.

Geographical Setting

FAITH TO RECOGNIZE GOD’S WORKING AND ANOINTINGJesus & disciples go to Nazareth…Mark 6:1-6 (NLT) Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. 2 The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, “Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?” 3 Then they scoffed, “He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph,

Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.” They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. 4 Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” 5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief.

FAITH TO RECOGNIZE GOD’S WORKING AND ANOINTINGLessons:

1. Don’t quickly dismiss the familiar, ordinary, or diminished and possibly miss God and His anointing. What or who is right in front of you that God has anointed, that is an opportunity from God?

2. Living with unbelief is dangerous. What do you believe Jesus for in your life? For what do you hunger for God to do?...I don’t want to be the one where Jesus marveled at my unbelief!

FAITH TO PARTNER WITH GOD IN SUPERNATURAL MINISTRYJesus sends 12 disciples out on mission… Mark 6:7-13

Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people. 7 And he called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits. 8 He told them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick—no food, no traveler’s bag, no money. 9 He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes. 10 “Wherever you go,” he said, “stay in the same house until you leave town.11 But if any place refuses to welcome you or listen to you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.” 12 So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins and turn to God. 13 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil.

FAITH TO PARTNER WITH GOD IN SUPERNATURAL MINISTRYJesus sends 12 disciples out on mission…

Lessons:

1. Are you ready to believe Him for His power to minister to people like Jesus did?

2. How has your life recently been used to transact God’s kingdom ministry (sozo) in people’s lives?

FAITH TO STAND UP AND STAND OUT FOR JESUSJohn the Baptist Martyred…Mark 6:14-29

FAITH TO PARTNER WITH GOD IN SUPERNATURAL MINISTRYJohn the Baptist Martyred…

Lessons:

1. An insidious but growing concern among alert and discerning Christians is possible persecution of true Christians in America at various levels….are you prepared?

2. Are you determined to stand up and stand out for Jesus? How serious are you about following Jesus? Are you prepared to do so? What do you need to do to be prepared in your spirit, mind, will, and emotions?

FAITH TO TRUST GOD FOR SUPERNATURAL PROVISIONJesus Feeds 5,000…Mark 6:30-44

FAITH TO PARTNER WITH GOD IN SUPERNATURAL MINISTRYJohn the Baptist Martyred…

Lessons:

1. Do you allow yourself to be put into ministry situations that require dependence on God’s supernatural provision?

2. Do you avoid or quickly dismiss the supernatural option of God’s provision?

PRAYER & FAITH AND NOVEL SUPERNATURAL ACTS OF GODJesus Walks on Water…Mark 6:45-52Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and head across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home. 46 After telling everyone good-bye, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. 47 Late that night, the disciples were in their boat in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land. 48 He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. He intended to go past them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the water, they cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost. 50 They were all terrified when they saw him. But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage! I am here!” 51 Then he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. They were totally amazed, 52 for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in.

FAITH TO PARTNER WITH GOD IN SUPERNATURAL MINISTRYJesus Walks on Water…

Lessons:

1. Do you pray…I mean really pray? Do we pray…I mean really pray as a church family? (It is the gateway to God’s supernatural working.)

2. Do you have space for God to operate outside of your box that dictates how God can work or is your heart hardened to novel workings of God?

PRAYER & FAITH AND NOVEL SUPERNATURAL ACTS OF GODJesus Ministers in Genesaret…Mark 6:53-56

After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret. They brought the boat to shore 54 and climbed out. The people recognized Jesus at once, 55 and they ran throughout the whole area, carrying sick people on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 Wherever he went—in villages, cities, or the countryside—they brought the sick out to the marketplaces. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.

FAITH FOR EXPANDED COMPASSIONJesus Ministers in Gennesaret…

Lessons:

1. Are you willing to give yourself away…to live for that which is greater than your comforts and entitlements and sometimes capacity…to allow compassion for others to be enlarged in your life?

Committed to passionately. . .Live like Jesus lived,

Do what Jesus did, andAdvance His Kingdom

together.
