    Screenshots of Jesus, Lesson 15: Triumph, True Faith, and the Way We Pray

    Mark 11 brings us to Palm Sunday and Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Was the adoration of the crowds legit, or did they just get caught up in the emotion of what was going on? We'll discuss why Jesus cursed a fig tree (?!) and the posture of our hearts when we pray. And we'll talk about boundaries and how much access we give the people around us.

    In Mark 10, Jesus is annoyed by the disciples, the disciples are annoyed with one another, Jesus teaches about divorce and childlike faith, and he begins the path to the cross.

    Screenshots of Jesus, Lesson 12: Food for the Body, Food for the Soul

    Jesus again feeds a multitude. Later he warns his disciples about the false religious ideologies of their day. The disciples fail a test that we too often fail: the opportunity to trust God to provide when we can't see the answers to the problems we face.

    Screenshots of Jesus, Lesson 11: Rules, Radical Boldness, and Remembering God's Goodness

    In Mark 7, Mark shows us the Pharisees' hypocrisy, the bold audacity of a gentile woman, and the healing of a deaf and mute man. We'll examine traditions, knowing God is doing something even if it isn't what we hoped, and choosing to see God's goodness every day.

    Screenshots of Jesus, Lesson 10: Miracle After Miracle After Miracle

    With the feeding of the five thousand and Jesus walking on water, Jesus reminds us that our limitations are nothing for him. And these miracles remind us to stop and take note of the amazing things God does in our lives every day.

    Screenshots of Jesus, Lesson 9: Closed Doors and Closed Hearts

    Mark 6 takes us to Nazareth where Jesus is amazed, but not in a good way. Jesus teaches his disciples and us to depend on him, not on the security we find in the world. Finally, we'll look at Herod's foolish promise that cost John the Baptist his life. Look for additional resources, including PDFs for discussion and additional study, on Amberalbeeswenson.org.

    Screenshots of Jesus, Lesson 8: Demons, Death, and the Woman Jesus Called Daughter

    Mark 5 covers the account of Jesus healing a demonic man. What are the characteristics someone displays if they are possessed? What can we do to conquer the sins we struggle with? Later in chapter 5, Jesus goes with Jairus, a temple ruler. But first, he stops to console and comfort a woman who has been bleeding for 12 long years.  Look for additional resources, including PDFs for discussion and additional study, on Amberalbeeswenson.org.
