The Live Service AUDIO Podcast is a twice weekly bible study with Pastor Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church. Subscribe and you can receive FREE MP3 files of the message for your iPod or other MP3 Player. Skip teaches expositionally through the entire Bible, verse by verse. Calvary is a Christian fellowship where we gather for the purpose of knowing and glorifying Jesus Christ. We desire to see all people become committed to live as followers of Jesus Christ.
If we want the life of Jesus, we must adopt the lifestyle of Jesus. If we desire His public power, we must first embrace His private practices. That means stepping away while others rush in, listening when others are speaking, and moving forward when others settle for comfort. In Mark 1:35–39, Jesus revealed the rhythms that lead to a life of faithfulness and fruitfulness: solitude, resistance, and purpose.
I. The Rhythm of Soli...
Mark introduced Jesus as the Son of God and Israel’s Messiah (see v. 1), who proclaimed His purpose to establish the kingdom of God (see v. 15). But such claims must be substantiated by divine authority. So, the author provides three credentials of this Messianic King to prove His office.
I. Authority Over Dispassion (vv. 21-22)
II. Authority Over Demons (vv. 23-28)
III. Authority Over Disease (vv. 29-34)

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Those words were spoken by Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing before her second birthday. Jesus promises abundant life (an adventure) to those who follow Him. Today we notice three aspects of Jesus’ call to His first followers.
I. Their Character (vv. 16, 19)
II. Their Calling (vv. 17, 20)
III. Their Commitment (vv. 18, 20b)

Mark shows us “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ” (v. 1). After introducing John the Baptist, he includes three (really four) foundational scenes that mark the beginning movement of the gospel—from the lips of Jesus to those who followed Him and then took it around the world.
I. Identification (v. 9)
II. Confirmation (vv. 10-11)
III. Confrontation (vv. 12-13)
IV. Proclamation (vv. 14-15)

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “To be great is to be misunderstood.” John the Baptist was certainly that! This unusual figure dominates the first part of Mark’s gospel account. Let’s discover what made him so great and why his role was so important to the ministry of Jesus.

II. John Was an Unusual Character (v. 6)

II. The Proclamation of Jesus (“The gospel”)
III. The Person of Jesus (“Jesus Christ the Son of God”)
IV. The Prediction ...
