This in-depth inductive Bible study examines Mark’s record of Christ’s life and ministry as well as the same events when presented in the other Gospels. The study asks the student to carefully observe in order to accurately interpret The Gospel According to Mark, the good news of Jesus Christ. The twenty-two week study looks for eternal principles to lead Christ’s followers to a life of obedience and commitment. The study includes many questions to bring personal application from Christ’s teaching through Mark’s historical and biographical narrative. The lessons also offer a reflection in Scripture in the study of the classical spiritual disciplines to challenge the student to grow in their faith as a mature disciple of Christ.

Suggested Study Format: The participants can approach the study in several different ways.  One possibility is to complete the “observation and application” portion alone, which would probably take no more than one hour per week.  Another option is to complete the rest of the lesson taking approximately three hours of study each week.  Class time will include a discussion to review the lesson as well as time for fellowship in prayer.
