We read through Mark 6 and watch how quickly people swing from amazement to offense when Jesus feels too familiar. We also wrestle with the link Mark makes between the feeding of the 5,000, the storm at sea, and how a hardened heart can make us miss what God is doing.
• Jesus rejected at home because people can’t see past familiarity
• The twelve sent out with almost nothing to learn dependence
• Herod’s fear and the rumors about Jesus’ identity
• John the Baptist’s death and the cost of speaking truth
• Jesus choosing compassion when rest feels urgent
• The feeding of the 5,000 as need met with abundance
• Walking on water and the disciples’ fear in the wind
• “Didn’t understand about the loaves” as a clue for our storms
• Letting yesterday’s provision strengthen today’s faith
