Mark 8: Applications For Today

1. Jesus did not use a social gospel approach to evangelism by feeding the people first to get them interested in the preaching. Jesus taught the people first and then fed them (8:1-3). 2. Jesus cares. He feels compassion for the needs of mankind (8:2). 3. Eating should be orderly, with thankfulness and without waste (8:6-9). 4. A persons evil character and teaching can slowly influence a good person for the worse like leaven working in a lump of dough (8:15). 5. Let us not be slow to understand what Jesus is telling us (8:17-21). 6. Do what Jesus says even if it doesnt make sense to us (8:26,30). 7. Do not stand in Jesus way. Do what God wants, not what you want (8:32-33). 8. True disciples of Jesus will put Jesus first and be unashamed of Jesus (8:34-38).

1. The kingdom of God has already been established with power (9:1). There will be no future millennial kingdom on the earth as taught by premillennialists. 2. We must listen to Jesus and Jesus only (9:7-8). 3. For those with a great faith, all things are possible to him that believes (9:23). (Remember, all things means all things within the plan and purpose of God for mankind.) 4. Greatness comes to those who are servants and humble (9:35-36). 5. Jesus is not promoting denominationalism in Mark 9:3839 as some teach today. Jesus is teaching that one with authority from Jesus can act even though he is not acting within a certain group that also has the same authority. 6. Make whatever sacrifice necessary to eliminate whatever will cause you to stumble and go to hell (9:43-48). 7. Christians need to be seasoned with salt: flavoring, preserving, and purifying the world around them (9:50). 8. Instead of disputing among brethren (9:34), let there be peace among brethren (9:50).

1. Marriage should always be taken seriously. It is a commitment for life that must not be broken (10:9). 2. A humble, obedient, genuine (innocent), child-like faith is required of all disciples of Jesus (10:15). 3. True love shows itself by telling someone who is wrong what they need to do to change (10:21; Rev. 3:19). 4. Treasures in heaven are more valuable than great possessions on earth (10:21-22). 5. Trusting in riches rather than trusting in God will keep us out of heaven (10:24). 6. It is worth following Jesus no matter what we have to give up to do it (10:28-31). 7. True greatness starts with service (10:43-45). 8. Dont let anyone stop you from getting to Jesus (10:48).

1. If we have something the Lord needs (such as our time and talents), we must let him use it for his service (11:3). 2. Jesus expects to find us bearing fruit in our lives (11:12-14). 3. We must remember the purpose of Gods house. It is a place of worship, not of worldliness (11:17). 4. Faith and doubt have no place together (11:22-24). 5. Forgive others in order to be forgiven yourself (11:25-26). 6. We must have authority for what we do in religion and our authority must come from God, not from men (11:27-33). 7. Jesus used a method of teaching that involved answering a question with a question. Also, Jesus chose not to answer a question when the ones asking it were insincere (11:29-30).

1. When you reject the blessings of Jesus, he will turn and give those blessing to others who want them (12:9). You can reject Jesus, but he will still be the head of the church (12:10-11). 2. We must obey mans law and we must obey Gods law (12:17). However, when mans law is in conflict with Gods law, we must follow Gods law over mans law (Acts 5:29). 3. We make great religious errors when we are ignorant of the scriptures and the power of God (12:24,27). 4. Our soul lives on after our body dies (12:27). All the dead will be raised in the judgment day (12:25-26). If you die before the Lord comes, will you be raised to the resurrection of life or to the resurrection of judgment (Jn. 5:28-29)? 5. Jesus was not teaching that some of Gods commandments can be ignored. He was teaching that all of our important responsibilities in life revolve around two great principles: (1) loving God with all of our being, and (2) loving our neighbor as we would want to be loved (12:29-33). 6. Jesus is not just a man, he is Lord God (12:36-37). 7. Proud people refuse to hear Jesus, but humble people will gladly listen to him (12:37). 8. Our religious service to the Lord should be genuine and not for show. It should bring attention to God, not to self (12:38-40). 9. God looks at the amount of sacrifice in the giving, not the amount itself (12:41-44)?

* Matthews account of the Olivet Discourse continues to Matthew 25:46

1. The Lord said take heed and forewarned of the dangers that lie ahead in life. To be forewarned is to be forearmed (13:5,9,23). 2. Christians will be greatly reward when they are persecuted for the Lords sake and when they endure such persecution (13:9-13). 3. The Lord expects us to understand what we read in his word (13:14). 4. Dont follow deceivers and false Christs even though they look like the truth (13:5-6,21-22). 5. The Lords word always comes to pass (13:31). 6. We need to be working and watching while waiting for the Lord to return (13:33-37).

1. Jesus is our Passover (14:1-2; 1 Cor. 5:7). 2. Those who make great sacrifices for the Lord (14:3,5) and do what they can for the Lord (14:8) will be remembered and rewarded (14:9). 3. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Dont make bargains with the world which conveniently serve your own selfish desires (14:10-11). 4. When it comes to those in the church who trouble the Lord, we would do well to ask, Is it I? (14:19)? 5. Without a memorial we tend to forget and not appreciate the sacrifice that was made for us. We must always remember the body and blood sacrifice of Jesus (14:22-25)? 6. Before making a promise ask yourself, Should I keep this? Can I keep this? Will I keep this? (14:31). 7. Jesus prayed the prayer of submissive obedience while the disciples were to pray the prayer of vigilance (14:35-39). Both of these prayers are needed in our life today. 8. Watching and praying will keep us from falling into temptation (14:38). 9. Denying Jesus can come by taking slow gradual steps away from him (14:37-38, 54, 66ff). If we deny the Lord today, he will deny us in the last day (14:6671). 10. We do not defend Jesus and his honor by fighting a literal battle (14:47). 11. Dont make Jesus say something he didnt say (14:57-58). 12. Thinking about the words of Jesus in the Bible can cause one to have regret (14:72).

The Seven Words of Jesus on the Cross Words Time Lesson

Father forgive them Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise Behold thy son behold thy mother My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken I thirst It is finished Father into thy hands I commit my spirit Ninth Hour ( 3:00 PM ) Sixth Hour ( 12:00 PM ) Third Hour ( 9:00 AM ) God loves mankind and seeks to forgive There is a reward in the afterlife for the faithful Jesus cared about his earthly family God cannot be in the presence of sin Jesus was fully human Gods plan for saving mankind is complete Jesus always did the will of his Father

1. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords (15:2,12,26). 2. Jesus was tortured emotionally and physically before even going to the cross (15:15-20). May we never forget the great sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf! 3. What will you do with Jesus (15:15)? Do not be weak like Pilate! 4. It is possible for some to pretend to worship and honor Jesus (15:19). 5. Must Jesus bear his cross alone (15:21)? We must bear the cross of Jesus (Heb. 13:13). 6. Jesus was crucified to save mankind from sin. What was said as a mock, He saved others, was actually the truth (15:31). 7. Jesus death gave all mankind access to God (15:38; Heb. 9:7-8,24; 10:19-21). 8. Truth often comes from those whom you would least expect (15:39). 9. Like Joseph of Arimathaea, we need to have boldness and courage to identify ourselves as followers of Christ (15:43).

The Servant Presented (1:1 1:45) The Servant Opposed (2:1 8:26) The Servant Teaches (8:27 10:52) The Servant Rejected (11:1 15:47) The Servant Exalted (16:1-20) He arose (16:1-8) He appeared (16:9-18) He ascended (16:19-20)
Mark 11:12-19 Mark 11:20- 14:11

Why Is the Resurrection So Important?

1. It demonstrates that Jesus is the Son of God (Rom. 1:4) 2. It demonstrates that death has been conquered (1 Cor. 15:54-56) 3. It demonstrates that there is life after death (Lk. 20:37; John 5:29; 11:24-25; Acts 24:15) 4. It gives meaning to the entire life of the Christian (1 Cor. 15:12ff) 5. It gives the Christian hope (1 Peter 1:3) 6. It is necessary for salvation (Rom. 4:24-25; 10:9) 7. It is necessary for our intercession (Rom. 8:34)
Lessons from the Resurrection Appearances

Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-20; Luke 24:1-53; John 20:1 21:23; Acts 1:1-10; 1 Corinthians 1:-11
Appearance 1. Mary Magdalene, John 20:11-18 2. The other women, Matthew 28:9-10; Luke 24:9-11 3. Peter, Luke 24:12,34 4. Two Emmaeus travelers, Luke 24:13-35 5. Ten disciples (Thomas absent), John 20:19-22 6. Eleven disciples (Thomas present), John 20:24-28 (see also 20:1-9)
Lesson Dont hold Jesus to the earth, he must ascend into heaven to reign there You may tell others the truth, but they may not believe you; tell them anyway Peter begins his journey back to faithfulness (see Luke 22:32) A burning desire to hear Gods word Unbelief is unacceptable, and fear must give way to peace Faith is rational and reasonable; faith is based upon the evidence of eyewitness testimony
Lessons from the Resurrection Appearances

Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-20; Luke 24:1-53; John 20:1 21:23; Acts 1:1-10; 1 Corinthians 1:-11
Appearance 7. Seven disciples on the Sea of Galilee, Peter in particular, John 21:1-23 8. Eleven disciples, Matthew 28:16-20 9. Five hundred brethren at once, 1 Corinthians 15:6 10. James the Lords brother, Corinthians 15:7
Lesson Following Jesus involves genuine love and focusing on your own responsibilities The Lords work is not finished go into all the world and preach the gospel Five hundred eyewitness confirmed the truthfulness of the resurrection 1 One could not fake a resurrection, but James would know what his own brother looked like Jesus is coming again just like he left! Quit fighting against God, you wont win! Change, and use your life for the Lord!
11. Disciples who watched Jesus ascend into heaven, Acts 1:9-11 12. Saul of Tarsus, Acts 9,22,26; 1 Corinthians 15:8-11

1. We are expected to believe the eyewitness testimony of the resurrection of Jesus (16:11,13,14). 2. The Great Commission is still for us today. Let us continue to take the gospel into all the world (16:15). 3. The choice is simple: believe the gospel and receive salvation or disbelieve the gospel and receive condemnation (16:16). 4. Belief coupled with baptism is necessary for salvation (16:16). This is confirmed in the book of Acts where the apostles carried out the Great Commission (note the belief and baptism in these passages Acts 8:13; 8:37-38; 16:3133; 18:8). 5. We must submit to the authority of Jesus Christ as he rules and reigns at the right hand of God (16:19; Eph. 1:20-23). 6. Gods word has been confirmed as true by miraculous signs (16:20; Heb. 2:3-4).
