Book Synopsis Following God Through Mark by : Ira Brent Driggers
Download or read book Following God Through Mark written by Ira Brent Driggers and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ira Brent Driggers examines the character of God as portrayed in the Gospel of Mark, paying particular attention to the way God factors into the unfolding conflict between Jesus and his disciples. Arguing that Mark depicts God as acting in two logically opposite ways, both independently of Jesus (as a distinct character) and through Jesus (possessing him from his baptism), he adds a level of complexity to Mark's portrayal of Jesus and sheds new light on the most enigmatic feature of Mark's narrative: the consistent and troubling misunderstanding of the disciples.
Book Synopsis Following Christ by : Joseph M. Stowell
Download or read book Following Christ written by Joseph M. Stowell and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 1998-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want your life to count for Christ? Would you like to make a real impact for God's kingdom in this world? You can -- and you don't have to be a great leader for it to happen. Just a good follower. In Following Christ, Joseph Stowell shows why Christ's command to "Follow me" isn't merely the starting point of Christianity. It's the very heartbeat of vibrant, effective faith. And it's not just for a few gifted leaders, but for all believers. Stowell shows you what happens when an ordinary man or woman pursues not the trappings of Christianity, but Christ himself. You'll discover - What a "non-negotiated follower" looks like - Why God does his best work through followers - Why self-directed living is a recipe for emptiness - What makes Christ so worth following - What it means to pick up your cross - Why a close walk with Jesus is the key to effective living -- Following Christ paints a compelling portrait of Christianity the way God intended it, marked by simplicity, vigorous faith, purpose and direction, soul-winning impact on others . . . and above all, a joyous, growing closeness with Christ.
Download or read book God Has a Name written by John Mark Comer and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way. In God Has a Name, John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including: Why do we feel this gap between us and God? Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him? What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires? What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine? No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, the act of learning who God is just might surprise you--and change everything.

Book Synopsis The Way of the Cross by : Joel B. Green
Download or read book The Way of the Cross written by Joel B. Green and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus has always invited and challenged his disciples to follow him in the way of redemptive suffering, the way of the cross. This, according to Joel Green, is the very heart of Mark's gospel. It is also the heart of discipleship today. In six engaging chapters, Green shows how Mark unfolds the drama of Jesus's mission to suffer for others; how this mission was not initially understood by the first disciples, and how all this can transform our own understanding of the call to follow. Each chapter deepens our sense of the integrity of Mark and challenges us to follow Jesus in our own practice of discipleship and experience with suffering today. The Way of the Cross is for individuals and groups who are serious about Bible study and about the relevance of such study to their lives. Each chapter concludes with a set of questions for reflection and discussion.

Book Synopsis Mark Bible Study Guide by : Jeff Manion
Download or read book Mark Bible Study Guide written by Jeff Manion and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark's gospel has an urgency to it that's hard to ignore. It's as if he is breathless, trying to get the information out as quickly as he can. A few decades have passed since Jesus' ministry, and with persecution intensifying, some believers were tempted to compromise or simply give up on being a follower of the Messiah. So, Mark needed to take the early Christians back to the basics and get them ready to move! In this six-session study (DVD/video streaming not included), pastor Jeff Manion takes you and your group through the gospel of Mark to answer such urgent questions about the Christian faith as: Who is this Jesus? What does he expect of me? Is suffering a normal part of the Christian life? What will encourage and strengthen my trust in Jesus? These questions are not born of a lack of faith but serve to strengthen and stabilize our relationship with the Savior. So, lace up your running shoes. Open your heart and mind. And come with your questions! Get ready to move as Mark's Gospel reveals what it means to follow Jesus. 40 Days Through the Book series: Each of the studies in this series, taught by a different pastor or Bible teacher on a specific book of the Bible, is designed to help you more actively engage with God's Word by understanding its background and culture and applying it in a fresh way to your life. Throughout each study, you'll be encouraged to read through the corresponding book in the New Testament at least once during the course of 40 days. Designed for use with the Mark: In the Company of Christ Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.
Download or read book Mark written by Sheila Grieb and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MARK Mark is the one of the earliest accounts of Jesus' life. Though it is the shortest of the four gospels, Mark's fast-paced, to-the-point style offers a comprehensive account of Jesus' life. His quick and bold message offers us a detailed portrait of Jesus' ministry. SERVANT Mark introduces us to the Servant-Messiah, the One who is always on the move, serving others. The One who "did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). AUTHORITY Mark's gospel illustrates the compassion, authority, and power of God through the many miracles Jesus performed. And it provides undeniable proof that Jesus is the Son of God and promised Messiah. HUMANITY Mark's gospel gives a glimpse of Jesus' humanity recorded through Jesus' emotions, frustrations, and fears and shows that Jesus can relate to our own feelings, like despair, rejection, and sorrow. FOLLOW "Follow Me" (1:17). This command sets the premise for the whole book. Mark's gospel teaches us what it means to follow Jesus and how to be a servant. It encourages us to continue following even when times get tough and life doesn't meet our expectations.

Book Synopsis Jesus' Urgent Message for Today by : Elliott C. Maloney
Download or read book Jesus' Urgent Message for Today written by Elliott C. Maloney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-01-26 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of God is like an intergalactic starship in constant orbit around the earth. No on can see it, but its tremendous power is available at all times to anyone who is dedicated to its transcendent message. With this splendid metaphor, Maloney launches into an engaging study of the Gospel of Mark.He argues forcefully that the key theme of the book is eschatology (death and resurrection) and his argument goes against the grain of the majority of Markan scholars who contend that the themes of the Gospel are discipleship and the Messianic secret. Maloney asserts that Markan scholars have so often missed this point because of their location in the First World. They lack the cultural orientation to understand the force of Mark's message about the coming Kingdom of God. Thus, traditional interpretations of Mark have emphasized a privatization of morality among Christians and a lack of concern for the well-being of the worldwide human community. The remedy for such a reading of Mark is to read it through the eyes of the people whose experience is most like that of Mark's original audience. Maloney uses the insights of Latin American biblical interpreters and the results of social science research into the first-century Mediterranean world to provide a fresh and provocative reading of Mark's gospel. Elliott C. Maloney, O.S.B. is Professor of New Testament Studies and Biblical Languages at Saint Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a member of the Religious Studies Faculty at Saint Vincent College, and the author of Semitic Interference in Marcan Syntax.
Download or read book Mark written by Timothy J. Geddert and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2001-01-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timothy J. Geddert views Mark as a profound theologian and accomplished writer, not a mere compiler of traditions. Mark’s text provokes careful reflection on its subtle and challenging message of hope and its call to faithfully follow Jesus on the way. Mark’s Gospel speaks plainly, yet sometimes in riddles, of God as revealed in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the Son of God. Mark presents God’s reign, its present hiddenness and future glory, and its surprising way of coming. Mark is also about Jesus and his followers crossing barriers to pass God’s grace on to those formerly excluded. Mark’s resurrection message is open-ended. Readers supply their own ending, not just in words, but by following their resurrected Lord. Includes essays on themes useful for teaching, preaching, and Bible study; bibliographies; charts; two maps; and an index of ancient sources.
