Pastor Marc Sharp continues with Part 20 of the current series that is an epic journey through the New Testament Gospel of Mark, verse by verse. The book of Mark was most likely the first one written, and is generally attributed to John Mark, a close associate of Peter, and also of Paul and Barnabas. The Gospel of Mark is all about Jesus and the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom of God. Who was Jesus really, and why exactly did he come? In the last several weeks we have heard how Jesus proved his divine nature and his authority over sickness and death, learning about his redemptive work. In a previous message, we looked at Mark 6:7-13, in which Jesus commissions the 12 disciples to go throughout Galilee proclaiming the message they heard him preach. Today's narrative picks up the story, telling us the 12 completed their mission and returned to give an account of what they did and taught on their journey. Will we also be called to Jesus to give a thorough accounting of all he sent us to do and proclaim? The story concludes with the miraculous feeding of 5,000 men (plus women and children), taking notice of great compassion, great unbelief, and great provision.
