Mark 4:5-6;16-17 Parable of the Sower – Shallow Hearts

Mark 4vs5-6 and 16-17 Parable of the Sower--Shallow HeartsDownload Now last time we talked about hard hearts, but Jesus knows that he has a second group of people in the crowd—those with shallow hearts. He needs to get their attention too, so he talks to them. See even though Jesus knows that most of the crowd will not listen at this time, he’s using this time he has to teach the crowd to wake them up, teach them profound things through what on the surface seem to be simple stories....

Mark 4:1-4; 13-15 Parable of the Sower–Hard Hearts

Mark 4vs1-4 and 13-15 Parable of the Sower-Hard HeartsDownload Although Mark talks a lot about Jesus teaching people in various settings, Mark’s short format means that there’s not as much content of Jesus’ sermons as we find in, say Matthew.

Mark 3:20-21 Family of God

Mark 3vs 20-21 Family of GodDownload 20 And He came home, and the crowd gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal. The home that Jesus came to was likely that of Simon Peter and Andrew, which they shared with their two families, in Capernaum (Mark 1:29). This small house becomes even more beset by great crowds, just as it had been when Jesus had healed the paralyzed man brought by his four friends in Chapter 2....
